Problem in creating .desktop file, CentOS

Question

Hi I have created XYZ.desktop file. And the code for that desktop file is given below

XYZ.desktop

Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=XYZ
GenericName=Generic Piece Of Software
Exec=startXYZ
Icon=/usr/local/XYZ/XYZ.png
#Categories=Network;InstantMessaging;
StartupNotify=true
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Name[en_US]=XYZ

startXYZ

#!/bin/sh
sh "/usr/local/XYZ/Installer"

If I run the start startXYZ file using then it launches application but If I double click on .desktop file it doesnot open the application. The same file worked fine in Fedora but not working in CentOS. There is no file missing.

Can anyone please guide me what may be the problem for launching .desktop file

Thanks Sunil Kumar Sahoo

Answer 1

Is startXYZ located in your $path?

Do you have [Desktop Entry] at the top of XYZ.desktop?
