I tested Money 97 again using SuSE 9.1 (with the 2.6 kernel) and Crossover 3.1 Pro beta.
More progress on speed. The install now runs in less than 2 minutes, and is at least as fast as a native Windows install. That is impressive.
Unfortunately, although the install runs perfectly, I still get the same error trying to start:
"The path is not properly set up in the registry or has been moved after
running Money's setup. Please reinstall Money. Otherwise, Money may not
be able to run properly."
I will continue testing with variations on the install to see if I can get any further.
