Invalid Desktop Entry File when Installing programs - felizcortez - 2017-09-16
After I install games or anything else and it adds it to the start menu, when I try to run the newly installed program, I receive the following error related to the desktop file. (see screenshot).
I know the game runs fine because I can start it from the command line without issue.
I am running 0.15.1

I can not reproduce this issue, all programs I install work right. Have you check the desktop file? could you paste here the file contents?
I think this is not a OP bug so I have moved it to general discussion forum.
