Consider upgrading wine from git or 1.1.42, which will be out soon. A lot of installation issues have been fixed, but I've heard that even 1.1.41 is still broken with some installs. If upgrading wine doesn't help, the AppDB doesn't mention this, but I have a hunch that installing msxml4 through winetricks ( http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks ) would get around the installer problem. If it does, please update the AppDB entry: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=6260 and file a bug report. http://bugs.winehq.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=quicken+install Additionally, Gnucash ( http://www.gnucash.org/ ) is a free and open source alternative that can import Quicken files with a little work and preparation.
