Files=50 and Buffers=10 in CONFIG.SYS

Post by LMLM »

An old application is refusing to install and gives me this error:
Message "Your CONFIG.SYS file needs updating. Quicken needs at least Files=50 and Buffers=10. You have Files=0 and Buffers=0". From DOS or a DOS Session, make a copy of your CONFIG.SYS file and name it CONFIG.Q. Edit your CONFIG.SYS file where you see Files= and/or Buffers= so the values are Files=50 and Buffers=10. Restart your system, start Windows and start Quicken's Setup again. For more information on these settings, see your DOS or Windows manual.
How do I do that in Wine?

if your WINEPREFIX is ~/.wine
you should have a file

Code: Select all

config.
in this directory

Thank you for your reply!

Yes, my WINEPREFIX is ~/.wine, but I didn't have any "config" file in it. So I created it and added the two relevant lines, and I still get the same error message.

Do you have any other suggestion?
