Please make sure you have a Wine version new enough to include https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32699

Note if there's no .desktop file generated for the app it inherently won't work.
Comment 2 Alexander Mentyu 2018-10-25 10:11:27 UTC
Launched these wine apps from their installers - wine isn't generating shortcuts for them in application launcher even if correspond checkboxes were activated in installers, wine --version wine-3.0 (Ubuntu 3.0-1ubuntu1)
