Quicken 2011 under wine 1.2.2

Wasn't able to get Quicken Deluxe 2011 to work under wine 1.2.2 out of the box. So I'm following the advice on this page: http://blog.jdpfu.com/2010/11/29/solved-quicken-2011-working-on-linux That's a very promising title and it seems to be full of recipes that work for lots of people.

My first attempts to simply install wine and then install quicken failed when quicken tried to register online. That left me with a version of quicken that had some features blocked until a successful registration.

With a partial Quicken install present, I tried this:

$ wine —version
wine-1.1.42

$ wine notepad
$ winetricks fontfix
$ winetricks corefonts vcrun6
$ winetricks gdiplus
$ winetricks dotnet20
$ winecfg (edit override for msvcrt to be builtin, then native)
$ winetricks ie6

Install quicken
Failed with unrecoverable error while trying to uninstall previous version.

So I removed my .wine directory and tried again:

winetricks fontfix
winetricks corefonts vcrun6
winetricks gdiplus
winetricks dotnet20
winecfg (change msvcrt overide to builtin, native)
winetricks ie6
ie6 not found (how did I install it before?)
winetricks ie7
allowed it to install updates and malicious software removal tools, but updates failed to install
winecfg (set dpi to 120)

Install Quicken

The install and quicken updates were successful.
