--- Comment #6 from info@skierpage.com 2009-10-05 20:15:10 --- Quicken 2008 has problems in registration and also in selling an update to Quicken 2009. Both of these can happen during One Step Update.
In later Wine versions, the registration dialog appears but is garbled and unusable (bug 19378). You can stop Quicken trying to register by holding Ctrl and Shift down while choosing Online > One Step Update.
In my experience with wine 1.1.30 with no Wine tricks, Quicken 2008 displays "Com Error" alerts and then crashes when it tries to sell an update to Quicken 2009. By using winecfg to set the Windows Version for qw.exe to Windows 98, those alerts went away. The upgrade offer displayed black but I was able to tell Quicken not to show it any more.
I hope these workarounds help.
