.desktop file. There was an error lunching the application

Question

I a new ubuntu 12.04 user.

I've read my stuff and copied/pasted code from here and there trying to make my second life client have a shortcut on the sidebar. I did this before... I did a format to my hard drive and everything is lost. Here are the details:

Filename= PhoenixViewer.desktop

code inside the file:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application 
Name=PhoenixViewer 
Exec=/opt/PhoenixViewer/snowglobe
Comment=PhoenixViewer 
Categories=Games;
Terminal=false
Icon=/opt/PhoenixViewer/phoenix_icon.png
StartupNotify=true
StartupWMClass=snowglobe-do-not-run-directly 

My dash can't even see the file as a desktop element. It lists it as PhoenixViewer.desktop and it has another icon than the one I list in code. The paths are correct.

When I run it from nautilus in /usr/share/applications/ I get the error: There was an error lunching the application.

And same goes if I copy paste the .desktop file on my desktop and run it.

Anyone can help?
