Quicken2011 won't work under wine 1.3.30 Why???

alsemus · Post by **alsemus** » Mon Oct 17, 2011 5:18 pm

I have wine 1.3.25 and Quicken 2011 install in Ubuntu 10.10.
When I upgrade to wine 1.3.30, via the Upgrade Utilities, Quicken no longer works.

It comes up to the checkbook, turns gray and stays there. When I click the exit "x" ( upper right corner) a message says it is not responding and I must "crash out" of Quicken.

I even tried an all NEW 1.3.30 install of wine using the Ubuntu utilities and got the same results. Any ideas why??????

Does it work if you downgrade Wine? If so, run a regression test and file a bug. http://wiki.winehq.org/RegressionTesting

I have tried what you suggested following the website instructions you recommended. Results are as follows:

al@al-Satellite-P505:~/wine-git$

NOW what do I do????? Sorry I'm not this versed in Linux or Ubuntu.

Since you're in the wine-git directory, you need to give the full path to the installer. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#run_from_terminal

While waiting for a reply I thought I would restore my original system from my Acronis Backup. To make a long story short I had to reinstall all of Ubuntu to be able to get to a point where I could reformat the disk and install by backups.
SO I think my best bet is stay with the 1.3.25 version until someone else corrects the problem................. Al

That will not happen until you do two things:

1. Conduct a regression test as described on the Regression Testing
page on the Wine Wiki site. (http://wiki.winehq.org/Regression Testing)
2. File a bug report with the results of the regression test.

The developers do not have enough time (most are volunteers) to locate
problems. Most do not have the time to read through the Forums/Mailing
Lists, even.

Please do the things I asked above and help the project.

Thank you.
