Hi, i gave this a try too, and I`ll share my findings here:
The version I tried (sha1sum Setup_QuickBooksEnterprise20Trial.exe 2154165d72faa69dd174d54643b051488ae54db5/Setup_QuickBooksEnterprise20Trial. exe) so that`s the 2020-trial starts for me after doing:
- "winetricks -q dotnet40 dotnet48", then install.
- Subsequently I needed native msxml6 becuase I got an error about invalid
license and the splash screen kept hanging.
After 'winetricks -q msxml6' the app (QBW32.exe) started successfully for me and i can open and click things, no idea how this app works further.
@OP: Maybe you could try the above recipe and see if works for you too.
Note: You probably have to use Staging (as I did) because of bug https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46568; I guess in vanilla wine it will fail.
If the above recipe works for 2019-trial as well then I guess this should be marked as mono-bug (for the installer); for now I confirm there`s at least errors and thinks to fix...
Yes, dotnet is required if the latest mono still has a problem. Mono has a failure at a piece of code that I found previously. Have not filed a bug report with mono about that.
Thanks for noticing msxml6 is required. After installing msxml6, Quickbooks Pro 2020 does actually start. It was that easy. So can confirm it works.
To consider this a complete success, activation must work, a previous Quickbooks business must be able to import, and Quickbooks must work fine.
Will try to test as much as possible and see how it goes.
