This is my first attempt to make something not-workable work in WINE. It's the single program that I still boot into Windows to run. It seemed to install OK, tries to launch, then crashes. Tried launching from the command line. Got: Code: fixme:advapi:ReportEventA (0xcafe4242,0x0001,0x0002,0x00000004,(nil),0x0002,0x00000000,0x33f794,(nil)): stub Used Winetricks to install vcrun2005 (recommended here: http://wiki.jswindle.com/index.php/Winetricks) Now QB crashes with the following: Code: barry@barry-Inspiron-531 ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Intuit/QuickBooks 2011 $ wine QBW32SimplestartLimited.exe wine: Install Mono for Windows to run .NET 2.0 applications.
