First, I deleted the .wine directory to start fresh, then I installed dot net 2.0 using winetricks, then ran "wine setup.exe" from the installation CD.
The installer starts, does the license agreement, I enter the CD key, and it moves on to the installation. When the progress bar reaches about 90%, it just hangs there, and I get the following on the command line:
Code: Select all

Fair enough. I deleted the .wine directory to start over, installed dot net 1.1 with winetricks, then proceed to start the QuickBooks installation again. As soon as it starts, the QB installer tells me it needs Service Pack 1 for dot net 1.1 , and it tries installing it. ...which fails miserably after about 3 seconds.
An error dialogue appears, stating:

This AppDB page suggests that QuickBooks 2007 does work on Wine, and rumour has it that CodeWeavers uses QuickBooks on Wine for their own book keeping. But I haven't had any success getting it to install. Any ideas/suggestions I could try?
Thanks!
