Microsoft Money

What works

You can successfully install MS Money Deluxe Sunset Edition using the following steps.

1. Install wine, wine-gecko, wine-mono, and winetricks in your distro (note that I am using Arch Linux, those packages may be named something else or already included in the default wine package in other distros for all I know).
2. Define environment variable WINEARCH and set it to win32 in your .bashrc or by using your Desktop Environment GUI as normal user (not root).
3. Run winecfg as normal user (not root).
   1. Under the Applications tab, select Windows XP as the Windows Version.
   2. Click OK.
4. Go here and apply the workarounds mentioned in the comments.
   1. Note that you need to edit the /usr/bin/winetricks script using root.
   2. Note that you need to remove the work "shlwapi" from two lines in the script as described
5. Run "winetricks ie7" in the console as normal user (not root).
6. Use winetricks to subsequently install MSXML3, MSXML4, VCRun2005, and VCRun2008.
7. Use wine to install MS Money Deluxe Sunset.
   1. Run "wine /path/to/msmoneydeluxesunset/USMoneyDlxSunset.exe" as normal user (not root).
   2. Follow the GUI prompts.
8. MS Money Deluxe Sunset appears to install successfully.

What does not

When trying to run "wine .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Microsoft\ Money\ Plus/MNYCoreFiles/msmoney.exe" I first get a pop-up error that says the following.

Content within this application coming from the Web site listed below is being blocked by Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration.

money://@surf.mar@

There is then a button to "Add..." the Web site to the Trusted sites zone.  I hit the button and added the site, but then I got another error, this time fatal.

Program Error

The program msmoney.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Additional Comments

User N. Giard stated that you need to replace mnyob99.dll after installation, but he didn't say what to replace it with!  I tried replacing it with the file mentioned in this article (file download here) but it did not help.

Edited on 15 March 2022 to reflect the fixed ie7 verb in winetricks and the latest stable version of Wine 7.0.

Money requires a 32bit prefix. Install wine-gecko, Wine Mono Runtime and Wine Mono Windows Support.

Ensure the latest winetricks is installed. 

Set winetricks to Enable Silent Install. Install with winetricks ie7, msxml3, msxml4, vcrun2005, vcrun2008.

Note: Money isn't feature complete with IE6/8.

These files are available at the following link:  Money Downloads

All should be good except on the bank accounts screen. Account type subtotals will be misaligned. If you 'winetricks install comctl32.dll' it will change the comctl32.dll in winecfg libraries to comctl32.dll mative. This will fix the alignment, but it will break File,Open a new file / File, Backup, account balancing and various other popup windows. Change comctl32.dll back to builtin if/when you need these functions.
