I've installed Quickbooks 2006/07 with the following commands under Ubuntu 8.10 with Wine 1.1.4 1. Install IE 6 sudo apt-get install wine cabextract binfmt-support $ wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks $ winetricks ie6 vcrun6 fakeie6 2. Install Quickbooks 06/07 by loading the CD and typing wine Setup.exe in the appropriate directory. (/media/cdrom1/library/software/QuickBooks0607/QBooks) Quickbooks loads up and I select the Sample Project. The problem then is that the internal 'quickbooks web browser' which allows you to view customers and everything doesn't load. It quickly flashes on the screen and dumps the following in the terminal: Code: fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 8206 (SPI_GETFOCUSBORDERWIDTH)

These did nothing for quickbooks.
