How to autostart a wine application with xfce4?

Hello, I want to run a wine application at login.  Could someone explain how to do this?

I did try the "Session and Startup->Application Autostart" from my distro (Linux Lite) but the command didn't start the program.

I tried the command like this WINEPREFIX=~/.wine64 WINEARCH="win64" wine ~/.wine64/drive_c/Program\ Files/myprogram/myprogram.exe

Try instead:

bash -c "WINEPREFIX=~/.wine64 WINEARCH="win64" wine ~/.wine64/drive_c/Program\ Files/myprogram/myprogram.exe"

The built-in parser is very basic. This version will execute the command in a bash shell.
