Sorry about the imprecision in it. The version of MS Money which I am
trying to install is MS Money98. I did look at the relevant page in the
database for that version of the application, but not at the pages for
the other versions, including the one you mention.
Ok, well that page isn't much different. It still hasn't worked for
anyone yet (apparently).
I did click on the default button in the first couple of screens, just
to see if text would begin to appear, but then became afraid to go any
further. I had a recollection that at some stage I'd be asked for a
serial number to enter and felt that I must be able to read the text to
know when to do so.
I don't see how it could hurt anything..
I installed v 0.9.16, rather than v 0.9.17, simply because my
distribution had an RPM of the former and not the latter and the user
guide recommended using packages. I could delete that RPM and then try
to install the current version of Wine from source (though I wouldn't
bet the house on my chances!).
Good point. There might be RPMs somewhere, but I can't say if they'll
work for your distro.
You can build wine from source and run it without installing it
(/path/to/built/source/wine).
You say there's a built-in IE replacement in Wine. Is that new to
version 0.9.17 or is it in the version that I have installed now? I know
that I now have a file called winebrowser.exe, but it's only 1.0 KB in
size and not an executable file, I assume. Also, what about the
installed MSIE6? Would I need to delete that too?
It's in the version you have now. However, I was never able to get it
to work properly until 0.9.17, when they moved to using Gecko engine
directly instead of the Mozilla ActiveX control. Also, bug reports
tend to be more useful the newer the version you have (then again,
it's possible it'll work better on the older implementation, but I
don't even know how to set that up properly).
I don't know how to uninstall MSIE6 or if it'll interfere with Wine's IE.
As to "mov[ing] away .wine", is that simply deleting my current .wine
directory? I'm assuming that if I delete the current RPM, that'll
automatically remove the .wine directory.
It won't. Your .wine directory (which is in your home directory in
case I wasn't clear) is created the first time Wine runs. It has your
registry, your fake C: drive, and all of Wine's settings.
I believe the changes in 0.9.17 that made Wine's IE work for me
require a .wine directory created by that version of Wine.
Thanks for the further reply, Vincent.
What I'll do now is delete the Wine RPM. If that doesn't automatically
delete the .wine directory, then I'll do that manually. Then I'll delete
the existing MSIE6. The fellow who developed the script I used to
install it has instructions at his site for uninstalling it, which even
I can follow.
Then I'll try to install Wine from source. Then you'll hear from me
again, because it won't work!
Seriously, thanks again for your help.
Leslie
