what version of picasa did you install?
suggestion: if not the windows installer, picasa38-setup.exe, remove the
version you installed and download and install picasa38-setup.exe for
windows, ie:
wine ./picasa38-setup.exe
This should provide a working menu launcher or picasa and if you have
problems with that, the following from the command-line will work:
wine "c://Program Files (x86)//Google//Picasa//Picasa3.exe"
When I upgraded to 3.8 on my machine I did it a different way. Since I
already had 3.0beta installed and since Picasa is the only wine dependent
program I use, I did the following:
From the terminal..
cd /opt/google/picasa/3.0/wine/drive_c/
wget http://dl.google.com/picasa/picasa38-setup.exe
WINEPREFIX=/opt/google/picasa/3.0/wine/ /opt/google/picasa/3.0/wine
/bin/wine /opt/google/picasa/3.0/wine/drive_c/picasa38-setup.exe
Nice and easy! 3.8 installed and using the existing wine install from 3.0.
