Ancestral Quest 15 (Incline Software)

Post by mcellius »

It might be of interest to others that the latest Wine staging - which shows as version 3.13 - allows AQ15 to work on Ubuntu, at least. It might work on other distros, too, but I'm unable to test that.

Ancestral Quest is widely-used software for genealogy, and I've been unable to get version 15 running on Ubuntu. Today I tried again to install it, without luck, until I decided to give Wine staging a try, and then it worked a champ! (There goes about my last reason for keeping an old Windows box around.)

During the install I just had to point it to an AQ folder I created in my /home/user/ directory, and all went well. (The installer wouldn't close with the "Finish" button at the end, so I just killed that process, but it was done anyway.) AQ15 now works great on Wine!

That's good news. If you have time, please submit a test report to the AppDB, as that will make it easier for users to find the information. https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager. ... &iId=36743
