Quicken

What works

Installer

What does not

Everything else. Fails to run due to bug 42701

Workarounds

To install, you need dotnet461 installed with winetricks in a clean 32bit wine prefix. If it fails, manually re-run the .net installer with the /q (quiet) switch.

The Quicken installer stops with an error when trying to install its PDF driver. My workaround to kill that:

1. cd "/home/username/.wineprefixname/drive_c/Program Files"

2. Execute this bash script to stop the installer as soon as it extracts the printer driver installer:

    #!/bin/bash
while :
do
        if [ -e Quicken/PDFDrv/InstallPDFConverter.exe ]
        then killall -STOP wineserver
                echo killed
        fi
done

3. Replace InstallPDFConverter.exe with an executable that won't exit with a failure code (eg. notepad.exe)

4. Let wineserver continue so that the installation finishes: killall -CONT wineserver

What was not tested

Anything beyond installing. Dies with:
