What works
The same as my predecessor LS650V did: I only tested what I use. Account entry, balancing, reports, Investments.
The Online functionality of MS Money 99 is long gone - the current developments of banking interfaces didn't get backported into this version of Money. You will have no chance of setting up an online access to your own bank accounts.
The download of current stock values is also switched off since many years ago.
What does not
Workarounds
What was not tested
I have the installation running in an Oracle VM VirtualBox machine, so I can't say anything about the graphics environment on a native Linux installation. But I expect it to have no impact on this Wine setup - why shouldn't it work? MS Money is using standard Windows interfaces.

Firstly, we have to activate the 32 bit architecture:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
Add repository key and repository
sudo mkdir -pm755 /etc/apt/keyrings sudo wget -O /etc/apt/keyrings/winehq-archive.key https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key sudo wget -NP /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/jammy/winehq-jammy.sources #replace 'jammy' with your Ubuntu version sudo apt update sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable cd /usr/bin sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks sudo chmod +x winetricks cd ~ # Prepare the environment for MS Money - using a separate wine prefix
When winecfg is installed, you don't need to install MONO when the popup appears. When the installation asks for GECKO, click YES and let GECKO install automatically.
