menu program will not start but ok if clicked from finder

Hi
I have 10.7 and CrossOver Games 10.1.2.
I have 2 bottles. Both are winxp.
from the menu if I select any programs which are not from the latest created bottle (it seems to) they will not start. If I start them via the finder by double-click on the executable they will run without problem.
I can change the default bottle same problem.
I tried rebuild the menu same problem (both options)
I even deleted the menu tree in ~/applications same problem

Here the error messages from console when I try to start application from menu.

We're running into several problems like this on Lion; 10.1.2 was released expressly to fix one of them. If you do a 'clear and rebuild programs menu' with 10.1.2 it may magically fix everything.

If it does not, then it's possible that you're running into another known bug (that was not fixed in 10.1.2) relating to bottle names that have non-ASCII characters in them. So if your bottle names have e.g. japanese characters or accents, that may be tripping you up.

If neither of those are the case, then something interesting is happening :)

I did try the 'clear and rebuild program menu' with no luck

the first bottle is called 'CD8_Program' has only Corel 8 suite
the second bottle is called 'Default XP' this is the default bottle (was already under 10.6)

I duplicated the first bottle to 'Corel8'
tried to start coreldraw from 'corel8' via finder, it works fine.
I archived 'CD8_Program' then removed it
stopped/restart crossover
'clear and rebuild program menu' but I only got applications from 'Default XP' nothing for 'Corel8'
deleted the crossover folder in ~/library and clicked 'clear and rebuild program menu' still no Application from 'Corel8'.
Removed 'Corel8'
added from archive 'CD8_Program' and called it 'Corel8'
stopped/restart crossover
'clear and rebuild program menu' but I only got applications from 'Default XP' nothing for 'Corel8'
Removed 'Corel8'
added from archive 'CD8_Program' and called it 'CD8_Program'
stopped/restart crossover
'clear and rebuild program menu' but I only got applications from 'Default XP' nothing for 'CD8_Program'

In short still not OK.

Now the good thing if I may say is this: At least I don't have shortcuts in the menu which do not work. I created 'normal' osx shortcuts for them and they work fine 😊

Here some errors from console
There were no error regarding the 'Corel8' bottle since no entries in the menu were created or for the recreated from archive 'CD8_Program' for that matter.
