--- Comment #1 from fbmines@gmail.com --- More attempts: MsMoney starts normally even with the message (main question) in the terminal then crashes, the backtrace starts with :
Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0xffffffff in 16-bit code (1387:04c1). In 16 bit mode.
Problem of 16 vs. 32 vs. 64 bits ?

--- Comment #10 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net --- Hello fbmines,
please make sure you've read and understood the Wine bug reporting guidelines next time you report a bug.
--- quote --- You tested with a clean Wine directory (default location: "~/.wine", z: drive -> / link exists, no DLL overrides). --- quote ---
vs.
--- quote --- winsock error has disappeared when removing some other Windows program than MsMoney, MsMoney still crash in Wine, i create a new bug report specific to this error, this bug report can be abandonned, --- quote ---
Don't install multiple applications in the same WINEPREFIX unless you know the implications. Bug reports from "shared" software installations will be usually treated as INVALID.
--- quote --- MSMoney3 run once --- quote ---
MSMoney3 = Microsoft Money 3.0 from 1994 (16-bit app)?
https://archive.org/download/microsoft_money/ms_money.zip
2x1.44 MB floppy disk release
That's a pretty ancient piece of software. Running that with Wine would be more of an academic exercise rather than for practical reasons.
Coming back to your bug reports... Please spend more time on research before creating bug report after bug report and abandon them shortly thereafter. Having a bunch of bug reports with rather confusing information is not very appealing to others. They might get ignored in the end which is probably not what you want.
If this is really Microsoft Money 3.0 then retest with most recent Wine version, preferably Wine 6.0 and provide exact information on the behaviour.
* install in clean (new!) WINEPREFIX * run the application 'MSMONEY.EXE'? * report back if whatever problem persists * make sure to attach full console output, crash backtrace etc. and describe exactly how to reproduce

--- Comment #11 from fbmines@gmail.com --- Hi, Thanks for your detailed response.
I thought I was in line with the reporting guidelines when I tried to close the report which exposed 2 problems (winsock and Wine unhandled exception) to create a new one with only the remaining bug ("Each bug report should cover one problem").
Msmoney 3.0 is effectively an "ancient piece of software". "Running that with Wine would be more of an academic exercise rather than for practical reasons": believe it, nothing as practical and simple has been produced so far, MsMoney following upgrades up to MsMoney Sunset were less powerful than 3.0. It had resisted most of the Windows upgrades including Windows7, I had to move to Wine under Ubuntu 12.04 in 2012 then upgrade to 18.04 and except some minor difficulties it worked correctly. Upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04 and Wine 5.0 last month did result in the current difficulty. And isn't it Wine reason for living to able Windows programs without regression (unlike Microsoft)?
"Please spend more time on research before creating bug report after bug report ..." : I really spent a lot of time trying to decrypt documentations, support procedures, explanations and comments in multiple sites, but nothing helpful or understandable. "...and abandon them shortly thereafter": see the 1st & of this message.
Your recommendations: I will do my best to follow all the steps you listed (install Wine 6.0 in a clean environment) though moving from 3.0 to 5.0 was not successful.
I don't understand the end of you message with the zip files.
Thanks again for your time to respond. Regards,

which community? I doubt there are that much people out there who are interested in getting ancient win16 apps to run with Wine. Even then, only a tiny fraction from these likely possess the knowledge and experience to triage/debug problems related to win16 brain damage.
Your best bet is Wine Bugzilla = here and wine-devel mailing list (https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/).
--- quote --- I don't understand the end of you message with the zip files. --- quote ---
The information at the end of my comments is for documentation. It usually contains a hash/checksum of the archive, the archive size and the Wine version used for testing. Sometimes I post a new stable download link as well and put it into 'URL' field of the bug.
I've searched the Internet for a download of the application to be able to reproduce your problems. Those things are very hard to find. Fortunately Internet Archive / Wayback machine exists: archive.org . One of the few places left to dig out old versions of software and research (now defunct) websites. A gigantic digital library and graveyard.
A recent example some older folks might remember: https://tucows.com/retired/

Ok, that's something to work on. If I understand you correctly, MS Money 3.0 already worked with older versions of Wine and after upgrade to Wine 5.0 it broke? That would be a regression worth to investigate. Do you remember which Wine version worked well with MS Monkey 3.0?

--- Comment #14 from fbmines@gmail.com --- Hi, still struggling with Wine.
Reinstalled Ubuntu 20.04 on clean partition,then followed the procedure of "Installing WineHQ packages", the 2 depositories seem correctly set up: https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ focal main https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/ focal main (Source Code)
but then:
f6008@mtl:~$ sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package winehq-stable
Thanks for help,

--- Comment #15 from fbmines@gmail.com --- please ignore the previous comment, I missed the step of installing the repository key, sorry,
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50533
--- Comment #16 from fbmines@gmail.com --- update: partitions formatted and reorganized, Ubuntu 20.04 and Wine 6.0 reinstalled, all clean and clear, MSMoney 3.0 works correctly under this environment, only one crash in multiple run, so far it is acceptable, thanks to those who helped,
