QuickBooks

What works

I was able to fire up the installer and get to the point where the installation keycode was requested. I was running 0.9.6 on a stock Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy) installation. For what it's worth, I had exactly the same problem when using the 20050725 version that ships with Breezy.

What does not

Once you get to the installation keycode page, you are presented with four inputs, each of which is limited to five characters with the exception of the last input which is limited to six. However, wine cuts off the inputs at four and five characters respectively. So, for example, I should be able to enter:

12345 12345 12345 123456

But since I can't enter all the characters, the keycode would look like this:

1234 1234 1234 12345

Obviously, the keycode doesn't validate and I can't go any further.

Additional Comments

I can't wait until I can run Quickbooks on my Linux machine. It's one of the few remaining "Windows only" apps that I really need to run. Quickbooks is by far the leader in its market, and Quickbooks support would go a long way toward helping folks make the switch from Windows to Linux.
