Launcher doesn't work

Hello all. I'm running Eeebuntu NBR 3.0 on a 1005HA laptop, and I'm trying to make a wine launcher to Foxit Reader, and it does absolutely nothing when I have the file in my wine Program Folders, but does just fine if I make a launcher to the program when it is elsewhere. The launcher target I am using is as follows.

Code:
wine /home/kit/.wine/dosdevices/c:/"Program Files"/Foxit/Foxit.exe
I was looking at wine launchers for programs and I'm not sure what's wrong with this. The command works correctly when run from my terminal but not from the launcher. Thank you much.
