Clicking on Quicken install.exe program causes "Open With" box to pop up.
I recently installed SuSE8.2 which came with Wine 20030217 and I was able to install Quicken 2000 Basic without problem. Over the last two days I have installed Synaptic and brought the SuSE8.2 up to date and downloaded the 20040213 wine rpm and installed it. My Quicken 2000 Basic still runs fine, but when I tried to see if my Quicken 2004 would now install (It failed miserably before), I now get a Konqueror box asking me which application I want to use to "Open" install.exe with. When I hover over the file, Konqueror correctly describes the file as a Windows executable. Fortunately, my son, who is a Linux guru, called and I found out that I could install it from the command line, while in the directory that has the install.exe by typing: wine ./install.exe Unfortunately 2004 Deluxe still fails miserably. Now I'm trying to unlock the Deluxe in my 2000 Basic. It is trying to launch IE, which I couldn't get to install. Does anyone know how to convince Quicken to use Konqueror or Mozilla or how to install IE? Jerry Rains
