This site gives away a free stock/currency charting app for Windows: http://www.marketbrowser.com/get_it.asp I got around the InstallShield problem by installing the app in Windows and then I copied the app's folder from Program Files directly to Program Files in my ~/.wine directory--and it worked perfectly on the first try. Amazing. And wine even made a working shortcut on my gnome desktop without even being asked. Excellent work, guys. Any known tricks for getting the installer to work in wine?

The installer worked fine for me in 1.1.22. What doesn't work is registering, when it runs into bug 13891. The workaround in the bug report fixes that.
