You need to have wrestool, convert and zenity packages installed to be able to create the Windows application shortcut. So, check if they are install in your system with dpkg -l icoutils imagemagick zenity | tail -n 3. If some of them don't show up, you have to install them with sudo apt install <package-name1> <pagacke-name2> ... for debian based distributions.

Run the scrip with this command: ./wine-create-shortcut path/to/app.exe. It will display a lot of messages showing what it is doing until it is done. After that, you should see the shortcut appearing on the applications menu of Gnome when you search for it.
