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.

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
