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.

Debian and Samba Teams: I'm having a really weird problem with Samba 3.0Beta2+RC4 on my Debian Sarge (testing) system with Quickbooks Pro 2002 multi-user version. The version of my question is: Does anybody know what the proper global, share, and permissions settings should be to support multi-user Quickbooks on a Samba share? The Long Version: The Quickbooks data-file resides on it's

I've searched the web pages, docs and archives but I can't find the answer to my question. How does wine locate dll's for a native windows application? Specifically, I'm trying to get QuickBooks Pro to run and it can't find IPROF32.dll eventhough it is in the same directory as the .exe and that directory is in the path. Can somebody point me to the proper docs or

It is widely known that Quickbooks has a horrible storage engine, "requires" Windows to host multiuser access, etc. However, I've successfully been storing QuickBooks files on Samba shares at a handful of locations with no real issues other than slight performance degradation. However, a somewhat recent thread here mentioned the proper use of oplock'ing in the Samba configuration

Hi there, Can somebody please explain to me why Samba 3 requires 'oplocks = no' on shares for programs like Quickbooks to operate properly with multiple users, where Samba 2 didn't? Without this option, Quickbooks will complain about file corruption when a second user tries to open a file. This option, however, makes the particular share that the option is present in _very_ slow

I moved a Quickbooks Pro file to our Samba server (v 2.0.7) during an effort to centralize some stuff in our organization. Before moving the file to the samba server it was shared from a users NT Workstation. I don't consider this a viable long term solution. Anyway ... here it goes with my problem report .... :-) So I moved the Quickbooks file to the Samba server, setup an Accounting share

I thought I had things figured out, but guess not. I have multi-user Quickbooks databases that functioned fine on a Novell server but are behaving badly on a Samba share. I have created a separate share for the Quickbook databases, users are running Win XP Pro, latest patches, and the Quickbooks application installed on the desktop. It is a multiuser version. Server is RedHat ES 3, Samba

Hi everyone I'm looking for a bit of help I'm fairly new to Linux and completely new to Wine, but I installed Wine on Linux Mint 12 and then installed quickbooks 2003, Quickbooks runs ok but when I exit I get a message "Quickbooks has encountered an error" (Can't remember the rest) after that Quckbooks will not load again until I restart Linux I don't get any error

Hi All, I installed wine in my redhat linux-8.0 machine using wine-20030709-1rh8winehq.i686.rpm and copied wordpad.exe and mfc42u.dll from my win2000 machine to the ~home/.wine/c/windows and system directories and try to run wordpad.exe in wine byr #wine wordpad.exe I am getting error message dialog as The application or DLL can not be loaded on windows95 or 3.1. It takes advantage

I am running wine 20050725 under KDE/Debain/testing with binaries from deb http://wine.sourceforge.net/apt/ binary/ on the client in question. I am trying to print from QuickBooks 6 to a printer server (Brother HL1240) running cups 1.1.18. The client is accessing the printer from kprinter and printing from the native Linux applications with no problem. When I try to print from QuickBooks I

On a server that has been running smoothly since it was setup, and with no changes to configurations or network or anything, users cannot save a shared QuickBooks file. they have been regularly using, updating and saving to this file for a few months. All users are able to create and update other files in the same share. I have not confirmed if they are able to create and update new QuickBooks

Hi all; the other day we tried to get ambitious and get the office onto a samba domain. Things were fine, but our quickbooks users could not use quickbooks because they were domain restricted users and needed to be domain standard users. Anyone have any help on how to get the users in question to be power users? Mike hillyer

Using Ubuntu 8.04, Wine 1.1.3 Application is Quickbooks 8.1. I have succesfully run this app in 7.04 with older wine version. I'm finding that the menu's with arrow up & down seem to crash Quickbooks and wine. Not using the arrows but when you go all the way to the top or bottom. A restart is then needed to get Quickbooks to open up again. Any ideas? As I say this worked great

I did testing on generating this report from a 130 MB Quickbooks file. Locally, 15 seconds. Samba Server, 1:35. Shared off of my win98 Workstation, 2+ mins. I do not understand the reason it is SOO slow. I know it is a fairly large file. The only explanation I can come up with is the way QuickBooks is accessing the files. Maybe jumping all around the file, requiring many operations on the

Hi Guys, I am using Ubuntu 8.10 with latest wine i want to install quickbooks 2008 i have quickbooks 2007 and 2008 but when i try to install it. Its not installing can anyone say how to get it installed. Thanks in advance

Thanks to all that have helped so far. I now have a test server running on Ubuntu 6.06 and Samba 3.0.22. I also configured ACL and user_xattr on the filesystem running the shares. But now I have very strange behavior that I hope someone has a clue about. User smith can open two files (foo.txt and faa.txt) with Notepad, Wordpad and Microsoft Word. The behavior for all three is different:

I have a Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) PC running Wine 1.0-rc4 and am attempting to install QuickBooks Premier 2007 for a customer who hates Vista and will switch to Linux if I can get this to work. However, the install program keeps failing. QuickBooks insists on having .NetFrame 1.1 installed but always fails when it tries to install it. So, I did a rm -rf ~/.wine to start fresh and then installed

I am having some unresponsive and very slow performance with a couple of different file types with Samba and Windows 7 clients. The problems manifest in the following manners: IGES files, these are CAD files. When opening up certain IGES files from the server, the application can take upwards of 10 minutes to open up the file. If I copy the same file from the server to the desktop, the
