I'm attempting to get our Accounting software : Peachtree Premium Accounting to work under Wine in Ubuntu 7.10. The install went smoothly with 0 issues however when i try to run it , it takes about 10s and then exits w/out any errors. So i fired up its database manager since i know it tries to start it first and i get an error message saying Unable to access registry. I've seen that on windows and its because the user does not have permission to access registry keys. Is there a way to fix this on WINE? There are no permission settings that im aware of. If i can get this to work i'm pretty sure it will work. Any help would be appreciated, this is my first experience w/ WINE.

Attach complete terminal output of running that db manager.
Accounting software : Peachtree Premium Accounting Wine 0.9.56 As far as attaching the terminal output. Heres what i input: jars at jars-desktop:~$ wine /home/jars/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Sage\ Software/Peachtree/peachw.exe it enters fine. and i just get my prompt right after that line. When calling the database manager directly i enter: jars at jars-desktop:~$ wine /home/jars/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Sage\ Software/Peachtree/W32MKDE.EXE It also seems to go through fine, at least at the terminal window however it opens up the application which basically just shows a log of activity for the manager and all it shows is : 16:36:33 MKDE2060: ERror reading the registry. Error code:2 If there is a way to get more output from wine please tell me, like i said this is my first experience with it, so im not very familiar w/ debugging etc.
i installed win using sudo apt-get install wine. I have made some progress after about 4 hours of wrestling with it. I'd say im to the point right now where i just dont think it will run, without some pretty knowledgeable help. After manually finishing most of the install bc it fails to complete past the reboot stage, i got it to load up(after modifying the registry to match what i currently run on windows, with obvious changes for paths), prompt for username/password, and it loads into its default "home" page. However gecko fails to display that, and 75% of all the menu tasks cause it to crash. I tried out crossover and couldn't even get it to get that far so i guess that is a bonus. The software uses .net, is it possible to...either isntall that or install something that would imitate it? Im thinking thats at the root of alot of the problems im having. @austin I do typically cd to the directory to call it, they both work the same way. I am getting quite a bit of information spit out at me now that it actually loads, lots of fixme:ras errors , and things of that nature.
