wine users - Feb 2011 - Installation problem , Failure to register Com ActiveX

I am very new at using both Ubuntu and Wine. I have manage to get both up and
running.

I am trying to install FreeAccounting in Wine. I am getting a failure to
register Com ActiveX errors and also have getting some decompression errors.

This program works fine under win2000pro but I am interested in getting it to
work on Ubuntu system. Is there something that I didn't do right?

Got a download URL or home page for that software?

Here is the webpage link

http://www.freeaccountingsoftware.net/download.aspx

or you can download the install file here:

http://fl.sysonline.com/downloads/FreeAccountingSetup.2.0.0.10.exe
38megs

The program will require an updated exe file to get by the registration code
request as the file as the above was released before it became fully free.

This updated exe file is available here:
http://fl.sysonline.com/downloads/FreeAccounting.exe.zip
2.8 megs

I used the web URL.  Did you allow MSDE 2000 to download and install?  
You might need an ODBC driver (msdac 2.8 does provide some of this 
functionality).  I remember a thread a long time ago about installing 
ODBC from MS.  Can anyone refresh my memory on this?

Thank you.

Yes. Actually about 30 times so far. Each time after I clean out the wine
downloads.

 Tried the 2.5, 2.7,  and the 2.8 msdac versions. It simply will not setup the
database files. When I install any of these the setup hangs after the download
at the database setup for Free Accounting where I enter the password.

Apparently it is my usual luck with Ubuntu and wine. I yet to get any of Window
based programs to work.

no go on 1.3.11

I think the current problem is that MSDE2000a is being installed correctly using
the FA install program.

I would like to try a manual install of MSDE2000a.

How do you enter the following in the Terminal:

C:\MSDERelA\setup SAPWD="sa" SECURITYMODE=SQL

I tried:

wine "c:\MSDERelA\setup.exe SAPWD="sa" SECURITY=SQL"

and get file not found error.

I mistyped. MSDE2000a is not being installed correctly. Sorry for the miss info.

Reinstalling Ubuntu and starting over.

Why reinstall Ubuntu entirely? Just delete ~/.wine and your Wine install will be
clean as if it were just installed.

Why?  Vitamin, dimensio and several other people have suggested just deleting
$HOME/.wine.  This is Wine's default 'fake' Windows directory
structure.  Running any Windows program will rebuild it.  Reinstalling Ubuntu
will not help resolve the problems with MSDE2000a not installing properly.
