Summary: Quicken 2008 registration displays garbled inoperative HTML Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: PC-x86-64 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: info@skierpage.com
Created an attachment (id=22459) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=22459) garbled Quicken Registration dialog
I installed Wine 1.01 on Kubuntu 9.04 amd-64 and installed Quicken 2008 from CD-ROM. The installation failed in the online update.
I then installed wine-1.1.26 from the PPA http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt I did not install any of the WineTricks mentioned on the AppDB
When I ran Quicken 2008, I got a prompt about going online to register. When I followed that, the Quicken Registration dialog appeared, but apart from a banner "Welcome to Quicken registration..." it was full of gibberish characters as if the encoding is wrong. I will attach a screenshot.
As you can see, the status line of the dialog window contains file://C:\windows\profiles\All Users\Applicataion Data\Intuit\Quicken\INET\COMMON\PNF\REG\4A5E9E00.H This file exists on my drive C: with slightly different capitalization at the end -- Inet\Common\Pnf\Reg\4A5E9E00.HTM
I can open this file and it appears fine in my Linux Firefox browser and text editor; not garbled at all, no UTF characters. It seems to hold the HTML for all the stages of the registration process; in working Quicken you don't see all of this HTML at once.
This bug sounds like what SpinDr describes in comment 9 of bug 14672. I am reporting a separate bug because that bug is "I am not presented with the box". I get the box, but it's garbled.
I'm happy to attempt to debug this further; alas my log with WINEDEBUG=+relay filled my disk and I had to remove it, and now I don't know how to get back to the registration dialog because I used the trick of Shift+Ctrl "One Step Update" to turn off registration!
