I'm new to Ubuntu and Wine. I've installed Wine (x.x.29) on Ubuntu 9.04, then installed Quicken Deluxe 2009. It seems to work fine but when I attempt to register Quicken I get a page of garbage. Of course Intuit Support is worthless. Somebody out there must work around this problem.

Thanks for the tip. I've read a little about winetricks but .. is that a Linux command run from a terminal window? If so, it can't be found. And I presume ie6 is a Windows executable. I don't seem to have anything like that in the .wine tree, either. Please, a little more help. David.
Super! Thanks! David.
sh winetricks ie6 was successful. Quicken became very happy with ie6 installed and ran the registration script without complaint. Now Quicken works fine. Somebody at Intuit should be told about wine! Good tips. Thanks!

You might want to contact support and let them know what you did to get it working, though. James McKenzie
I contacted support and told them how wonderful Quicken and wine work together. I also contacted a friend that does Quicken software. Maybe I'll get a job offer. David.

Linux folks deserve the same! James McKenzie
