I have never had much luck with Wine in running non-Linux applications -
there seems to be far too much fiddling about to do.

I use Crossover Linux (the commercial arm of Wine) where everything I need
works out of the box.  My Applications menu has an entry for Crossover and
when non-Linux applications are installed the appropriate names of those
programmes also appear on the Applications menu.

While this information may not help you in solving your present problem
directly, I have provided it for your consideration.
