starting program in wine from a laucher


I'm trying to lauch a wine prg from a launcher. It works fine for just the app, but if I want to pass a WINEDLLOVERRRIDES command I get the following error.
Code:
Details: Failed to execute child process "WINEDLLOVERRIDES=comctl32=n" (No such file or directory)
I've tried with quotation marks in several places but no result. Does anyone know how to get this to work. It's a bit of a bother having to write it all evey time I want to use the app.

What about creating a small shell script with the correct command line in it, and creating a launcher icon for that instead?

Not a bad idea... Any hints how I might go about doing that?
Would:

#/bin/bash
WINEDLLOVERRIDES=comctl32=n wine C://appname.exe

be enough?

Then save it as appname-starter, chmod +x and point the launcher to it?

To answer your last two questions: Yes and Yes.
