Software :: Installing Quicken 99 Basic Using Wine?
Aug 21, 2010
I installed Quicken properly the 1st time I tried but had to install a different distro of Ubuntu, now I can't find what I'm missing. I have installed and upgraded Ubuntu 9.4, installed and configured wine 1.0.1-0ubuntu to emulate Win-98. I am trying to install from a Quicken 99 Basic CD mounted at /media/cdrom0. I know I must open a terminal and cd /media/cdrom0.
I think the command to use in terminal is: wine setup.exe
But which setup.exe? There are at least six!
1 each in the following directories:/canmff/disk1
/canqtax
/dao/disk1
/disk1
/qbtrial/can � (Quickbooks trial Canada so not this one)
/qbtrial/us - (Quickbooks trial US so not this one)
I believe it is the one at /disk1 but I am not certain! Each time I used the wrong one it didn't record an uninstall log and I had to reinstall the OS twice just to remove faulty installations of Quicken.
So, although I'm somewhat ashamed to ask for help once again, I sure would appreciate a little more guidance. I think I remember seeing someone use the following in a post. Experience is a hard teacher. It is indeed!

I had to upgrade to Ubuntu 10.04 after 9.04 stopped being supported and now I can't run Quicken 2000 Basic in WINE anymore when it ran just fine under 9.04 using WINE When I try to install it from the CD ROM it gives me this error The file '/media/QWINMMR1F/install.exe' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied form an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit. So I copied all the files from the Quicken CD to my hard drive and installed it from that folder and it completed installation without any installation errors but when I run Quicken and try to open the qdata.qdf file Quicken gives me a "can't open file" error.
I then removed WINE and installed the latest BETA Version now I can install from the CD but still get the "can't open file" error from Quicken. It worked fine under 9.04 and WINE and I could update the info in Ubuntu and it would show up under Windows and if I'd update in Windows it would show up under Linux. Now in Ubuntu 10.04 it does not work.

When I opened Quicken this morning I saw that WINE did some kind of update; now Quicken cannot open files. The program seems to start normally but when I try to open a file it locks up. I see that Freecell runs normally but of course it doesn't access any data files.

I've just installed Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit.
It came up saying I could install 2 proprietary drivers, one for my WiFi adapter (which works perfectly) and one for my graphics card - a Sapphire AIT Radeon HD 5770 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card. The driver is called ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver. Before installing this driver I was unable to have Extra Visual Effects in Appearances. However after installing (and restarting) the menu bars are now in a basic light gray mode, rather than the sleek Ubuntu black. - Although Extra Visual Effects does now work. I've tried rebooting, and I've had a look around in ATI "Catalyst Control Center" but nothing has worked so far.
Does anybody know what this windows mode is, how to change it back to normal and why it's doing it in the first place?
Below is a screenshot of my computer: [URL]
This is also the first time I've installed Ubuntu on my computer, and am keen for it to work.

Is there a program compatible with Quicken 2000 BASIC's QDF file that can load a Quicken 2000 Bsic QDF file and display the contents properly the same way it appears in Quicken 2000 Basic? Or in other words is there an Ubuntu equivalent to older Quicken programs? From what I remember after a cretin version of Quicken it no longer supported any older versions files.

I am transtioning from Windows to Ubuntu 10.4 and I was surprised to see that Intuit does not have a Linux build of Quicken. What is the most capable Quicken replacement for Ubuntu? Thanks.

I have a HP DV9000 laptop. The second hard drive bay doesn't support SATA II devices. I was cloning the original hard drive to the newer SATA II hard drive I purchased two swap them because bay 1 does support SATA II devices. I decided to use
Code:
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb
to get the job done. I double/triple checked my command with fdisk -l, but my dyslexia got the better of me. I should have ran
Code:
dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sda
....
I stopped the command about 1/2 hour in, it is a 160GB hdd. I tried using foremost to recover all of the files that hadn't been written over yet, but it can't recover Quicken filetypes. The ONLY thing I need off of this drive is the Quicken database. TL;DR I need to recover a quicken database file off my corrupted partition. What program can I use?

I just installed Fedora 12 86_64, and Wine won't run any software that I attempt to install. It just says opening file, and after a few seconds disappears. The same software that I was running in Wine f10 is not running in 12.

I installed Wine on my machine just a few minutes ago and as part of the installation the following packages are also installed: ttf-liberation,
ttf-mscorefonts-installer, ttf-symbol-replacement, ttf-tahoma-replacement. These add extra fonts to the system which I'm assuming are required by windows programs running inside Wine. The problem is though that Firefox also seems to be using these fonts because the fonts now look different inside Firefox. Not a huge difference, but you can tell they are different and they just don't look "right" to the eye. They are no longer as pleasing as they were when Firefox was using the default Ubuntu fonts.
Is there a way to keep these fonts for use by Wine, but not allow any other program on Ubuntu to use them?

I have clean install of Ubuntu 10.10 and set up wine beta release. I have tried to install SimCity (Win95 ver) under wine, there is no setup.exe on cd though, there is only bootme.exe which doesn't seem to install simcity. I did this from terminal and drag the icon to the terminal after adding sudo wine (and space).

I have been asked to install Windows 7 on a computer that groans to even run Windows xp properly. As I know, this is like asking for the impossible, I am posting here to have some opinions about the use of Wine in Debian. In particular, I would like to know whether wine makes Debian less secure and more vulnerable to viral, malware, adware, etc infections.

I recently installed Fedora 11 with VMware workstation. I downloaded the Wine file (wine-1.0.1.tar.bz2 and wine-1.0.1.tar.bz2.sign, its a source archive i think)from [URL]. Those two files are now in my flash disk. I went throught the wine user guide but they haven't explained about how to install it in detail, but i found that, "Compiling & installing Wine from source is slightly more difficult than using a package".
I went to [URL] looking for packages but again its saying, i should install some library's before building Wine and leads to [URL]. I went there & found a web page with some codes.

i use Newsbin and after installing 11.3 and copying my datafiles from newsbin over, there is a tendency that my desktop freezes up. The only thing working is the mouse, but unable to click anything. Keyboard is death at the point. Is there a logfile from the system that let me see the problem? Did not have freezes with 11.2.

I've been trying for a while to get Ubuntu to support Divx and so far I can't get it to install. I've tried getting it to run with Wine but it doesn't trust any executable file. I then tried using Ubuntu Software Centre to see if there is a Ubuntu version but so far I can't seem to get even that version to work. The main issue though is that it would be nice to be able to run software via Wine and I don't know why I can't figure that out lol.

I recently got a new netbook and the first thing I did was install ubuntu along side the XP install. The problem I'm running into right now is when I try to install a statistics program that I need for class I get an error. There is a popup labeled RegUtil with the error "Run-time error '5': Invalid procedure call or argument" and in the terminal window there is the message "wine: cannot find L"C:\windows\system32\netsh.exe."

I installed wine in my Linux (PCLinuxOS) and added an application called ABW. The app works fine, but the display of the app will work only if we use the font supplied by the software manufacturer. The software comes with a font called TERM768.FON.Can some one tell me how to install this font in wine, so that any application from wine can see/use this font?

I have been able to successfully install Acrobat 4 on CrossOver 8.0.0. I recently purchased Acrobat 9, but could not install it. Everything seems to go smoothly except that the serial number is rejected by the Acrobat installer.
1. Has anybody successfully installed a recent version of Acrobat on WINE or CrossOver?
2. What is it about WINE that would interfere with the serial number?
(I successfully installed on WinXP, so I do have a good S/N.)

I see that winetricks includes physx, but when I either run that, or just run the physx installer executable under wine, a dialogue pops up that tells me I need to reboot before installing. Hitting either yes or no shuts down the program and creates a file at "~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Common Files/Wise Installation Wizard/". Running the program a second time yields exactly the same results. I've tried deleting my ~/.cache/winetricks folder.
Is there a way to have the program think I've rebooted already, or to circumvent the reboot dialogue? How does this normally work successfully running 'winetricks physx'? I've got winetricks version 20110105, wine-1.2.2, and I'm running on Slackware64 13.0 using the proprietary 64-bit nvidia driver 260.19.44.
