Just a quick note for those who are interested in getting the accounting package Quicken running under Freebsd 6 using wine, it may work with other installations as well but I have not tried it but others may like to. I am very new to this so it all I have done will no doubt be considered as quick and dirty by some but it worked for me and I am tickled pink. Firstly, trying to run setup.exe didn't work so I copied the install directory of Quicken into the same relative position under "Program Files" in wine from my windows system. I then copied the "Quicken.ini" from the windows system "windows" directory to the same directory under wine. After having still no luck and lots of file not found messages I did a bit of searching and found some messages that said something about putting the needed files into "windows/system". So I started from the first error message, found the file mentioned in that error meassage and placed it in the wine "windows/system" directory after which the vast majority of error messages dissappeared and by a process of trial and error found out which other files where needed and also put them into the wine "windows/system" directory and hey presto, it worked. So finally, the files that I needed to copy into the wine "windows/system" directory are: mfc42.dll, iprof32.dll, q_encutl.dll and genclib.dll. The last "q_enclib.dll I had to copy from my windows system as I could not find it elsewhere easily, after which it worked. It was not perfect and I have yet to test it but it does at least run. So for those who want to run Quicken under Freebsd or perhaps other similar systems, I hope this little bit helps. Cheers for now, Robert. _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
