Wine and Quicken

viper1965 · Post by **viper1965** » Mon Oct 20, 2008 12:06 am

Hello,

I am running Ubuntu 8.04. off of an external HD. in the File Browser, Ubuntu sees the internal HD, and I can navigate to the Quicken executable. I installed wine and went into Configure it and clicked Add Application. I can see the Program Files folder, but when I go into it, all I can see is the Common Files and Internet Explorer folders. Why can't I see executables? How can I try Quicken in Wine? Vista is on the internal HD.

Thanks,

Ralph

Thank you, austin987! I was able to install Quicken, but it won't run. I tried running it by clicking it from the Wine-->Programs menu, and from the desktop - nothing. Is this a .DLL problem?

Thanks,

Hi, Austin,

Before doing wget kegel.com/wine/winetricks && sh winetricks vcrun2005, I got winetricks, and installed MFC40.DLL, and still got the same errors. I did sh winetricks vcrun2005, same errors. Am I running wine qw.exe from the wrong directory? qw.exe is in /home/ralph

Thank you,

Ralph

Windows programs normally install themselves to a subdirectory of Program Files. It sounds like something went wrong with your install.

What should I do? I'm a Linux newbe.

Thanks,

Hi, Austin,

I did that, and got this when I typed wine qw.exe:
wine: could not load L"C:\\windows\\system32\\qw.exe": Module not found. I copied qw.exe to .wine/drive_c/windows/system32, tried wine qw.exe from there, and got the errors I always get.

Could it be that quicken just won't work? Notepad and regedit work.

Thanks,

Ralph

What directory did the installer put qw.exe in, and did you cd to that directory before trying to run it?

viper1965 · Post by **viper1965** » Sun Nov 09, 2008 6:16 pm

Hi, dimesio,

The installer put qw.exe in /home/ralph/.wine/drive_c. I did change to that directory and typed wine qw.exe. I got the same errors.

I find that hard to believe.

Is there a demo available? What version of Quicken?

Hi, Austin,

I did locate qw.exe, and that's what was returned. It is Qucken 2009 starter edition. I've never seen a demo.

Thanks,

Ralph

So to be clear:

$ rm -rf ~/.wine
$ wine quicken_setup.exe

installs qw.exe in ~/.wine/drive_c
?

Are you changing any setup defaults? Does it do the same in Windows?

Hi, Austin,

The wine help link said that you can just double click the installer to start it, and that's what I've been doing. Should I be using terminal? If so, how do I reference the CD in terminal?

Double clicking the installer does install qw.exe to ~/.wine/drive_c. I have not changed any defaults. I believe that in Windows, the installer installs qw.exe to Program Files\Quicken.

Yes, I have done rm -rf ~/.wine

Thanks,

Ralph

Then either it's a bug in wine or you're doing something
screwy...e-mail me and I'll see if I can help you better.

Austin:

I'm wondering if Quicken 2009 requires installation of .NET 2 or .NET
3. If .NET is not installed before installing Quicken, this could cause
the problems experienced here, but I've never seen anything like this
before.

Possibly, but I HIGHLY doubt that .net 2/3 would cause the installer
to install to C:\. That's the much bigger issue.

Hey Austin, I am having problem with Quicken 2008 as well. It installs properly. It even runs. However, after selecting a data file, Quicken immediately closes, all trace of it gone. Ideas?

I downloaded and installed the newest Wine and Bordeaux. I tried to reinstall Quicken. It said it would have to remove the old version first. It died during the uninstall process. Try to re-install gives same message.

The Quicken 2008 - Install Wizard reports:

Quicken Failed to install - Exit Code 1627.

There is tons of Quicken stuff left in the registry. I wished I had saved a registry....
