QuickBooks 2004 Forum

1. Start Crossover Configuration
2. Select install software
3. Select Quickbooks - This applies for 2003 and 2004 versions.
4. Follow prompts to completion. You will get an error that QuickBooks requires Internet Explorer 6 in order to run. Ignore this error until the installation is completed.
5. Once installation is completed (it will be into a Win 98 bottle), start Crossover Configuration again. This time, install Internet Explorer from the list of applications available. Do not use the version on the CD.
6. On completion of the install, QuickBooks 2004 Pro seems to work very well. I'm prepared to say to bronze standard.

Problem areas that I've found so far:

1. Printing, which is serious as it causes lack of usability.
2. Some graphics do not display correctly, appearing as a red Xx
3. A significant number of Microsoft Internet Explorer errors occur. e.g "Cannot find 'C:\Program Files\Intuit\QuickBooks Pro\components\help\help_support.html' " There appears to be a fair number of the required files missing, that probably requires further investigation.

Incidentally, then same approach works for Crossover Office 5, with an additional issue with certain graphics becoming scrambled.

I'd add to the problem list downloading and installing the payroll capability. I didn't notice any graphical errors or IE errors.

I'm running QB 2004 Basic in a Win98 bottle on Crossover Office 6.0.1 on Ubuntu 7.04 beta, everything other than payroll seemed to work effortlessly the first time...I'm amazingly pleased. Well, if the Payroll download/install worked the first time I'd be amazingly pleased I guess.

I have the same setup, Crossover 6.0.1 trial, Ubuntu 7.04 final, Quickbooks 2004 basic. It installed ok, but when I try to execute the startup screen flashes and then there is nothing more. Do you have any tips for me?

similar situation as William: Crossover 6.2.0 trial, Ubuntu 7.10, Quickbooks 2004 Pro. No problems with install. Crashes on startup after flashing what looks like Quickbooks opening screen. Tried running in terminal, but that gives me literally nothing.
