Quickbooks 2012

[Titan91]

I'm using 1.9.16 on Linux Mint 18 x32 to attempt to set up QuickBooks 2012 x32. I have the QuickBooks install files in a folder in the C drive folder in an isolated prefix. and am running WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-quickbooks wine setup.exe. The setup runs, asks me to agree to the license agreement, and accept my product key/product ID. From the teerminal I initially got...

Code: Select all

err:msi:ACTION_CallDllFunction Custom action (L"C:\\users\\guest\\Temp\\msi35e9.tmp":L"PreProcessFirewallConfig") caused a page fault: c0000005

I looked it up and ran

Code: Select all

winetricks mdac28

which installed successfully. Now I run the installer again and the program closes with

Code: Select all

Unhandled Exception:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.MarshalDirectiveException: [MarshalAs] attribute required to marshal arrays to managed code.
  at (wrapper native-to-managed) System._AppDomain:CreateInstance (intptr,intptr,intptr,intptr,intptr)

in the terminal. Any ideas as to if I am missing something? I realize nobody has had success running any version of Quickbooks in WINE but figured I would give it a shot.

I see a Wasteland in WineHQ AppDB / Quickbooks...
Crucially though: no bugs have been filed against the recent releases!

Perhaps you could file a bug, on the WineHQ Bugzilla, with a super-verbose debugging log:

Code: Select all

export WINEDEBUG=+tid,+timestamp,all+relay
wine ... &>quickbooks_2012_install_log.txt

At least that would get this issue on the radar of some Wine Developers!
