Quicken Errors Out Just After Starting

[meezeasivett]

In a nutshell, after fighting with this all day, I've managed to actually install Quicken in Wine. But, when I start it, it almost immediately errors out. Basically, Quicken starts, I get two error popups saying "Failed to resolve function RaiseFailFastException in KERNEL32.dll" followed by the program starting to do something (it's too fast to see), then two more of those same error dialogs. Then the program crashes.

I've tried this with the WINE distribution from Fedora's RPM (v7.5). Then I uninstalled that and used your winehq_devel version (v7.6):

Code: Select all

sudo dnf -y install dnf-plugins-core
sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/fedora/35/winehq.repo
sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/fedora/35/winehq.repo

I've got a fresh install of Winetricks:

Code: Select all

cd "${HOME}/Downloads"
wget  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks
chmod +x winetricks
sudo cp winetricks /usr/local/bin

which I've confirmed is up-to-date with:

Code: Select all

sudo winetricks --self-update

I've installed Quicken with winecfg set to the default Windows 7 and with the Windows 10 version (which, I think is what Quicken requires as a minimum).

The installation method I followed is what's in your AppDB for Quicken 2020 Premier (which seems to be the latest entry). Essentially:

Create a new 32-bit wine prefix for the Quicken installation and install MS .Net Framework 4.6.1 using winetricks:

Code: Select all

$ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.quicken-wine winetricks -q --force dotnet461

Change the Direct Draw Renderer to GDI using winetricks:

Code: Select all

$ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.quicken-wine winetricks settings ddr=gdi

Patch the Quicken installer to prevent it from attempting to install the PDF print driver:

Code: Select all

$ cd /path/to/installer/file
$ 7za x Quicken.exe
$ perl -pi.bak -0777e 's/NOT REMOVE="ALL"InstallPDFDriver/NOT_REMOVE="ALL"InstallPDFDriver/' "DISK1/Quicken.msi"

(BTW: if I don't patch out that PDF print driver, the install fails with an error code (which I don't remember, but think it was 1625)

Run the Setup.exe installer application:

Code: Select all

$ WINEPREFIX=~/.quicken-wine wine DISK1/Setup.exe[/quote]

At the end of that process, I both 1) let the program start immediately from the prompt, and 2) not let it run and then started it manually from the GUI. I've also 1) let it run immediately, and 2) not let it run, installed the Mondo Patch:

Code: Select all

WINEPREFIX=~/.quicken-wine wine QW27.1.40.13MPatch.EXE

and then started it (both immediately from the end of the patch process and from the GUI afterward).

I saw where I'm supposed to run:

Code: Select all

wine [program name] &> /tmp/log.txt 2>&1 

for additional information. But, I don't know what to put in for the program name.

It's not much, but some of the information from the crash reports it generates follows:

Does anyone actually HAVE Quicken running in Wine? Maybe it's just impossible and I'm wasting my time.

If you have a (legal) link to a (demo) version, I'll give it a try.
