Here is my experience for anybody who wants to read
Crossover Office Standard version 6.2.0
Ubuntu Linux originall Fiesty Fawn upgraded to Gutsy Gibbon
TT Business 2007 needs Windows 2000 SP4 - Win98 not an option per box so I focused on the Win2000 bottles
Attempt 1) Install from CD
Result: Cannot load from CD - the label on the CD shows a wierd character instead of a space.
Attempt 2) Copied files from cd to hard drive
ran the install file setup.exe
Result: Intuit installer Tried to install IE but failed
Attempt 3) Deleted and recreated bottle.
Installed IE 6.1 using standard install. Got one error but completed.
Then installed turbotax as before. Complained about needing .NET
Attempt 4) Deleted and recreated bottle
Installed IE 6.1 and then .NET 2.0 using standard install
Installed turbotax as before
Installer reported success.
Launcher on desktop does not appear to work. Disk spins a little and nothing else.
Tried executing using command line
./wine --verbose --cxapp ttax.exe
result:
SCI_getprocentry SCSCI line scan count error
fixme:nls:CompareStringW Ingnoring unknown style 0x1000000000
fixme:nls:CompareStringW Ingnoring unknown style 0x1000000000
fixme:wintrust:WinVerifyTrust (nil) [i]some codes in brackets
then command prompt returns and no application launched.
I am not going to spend more time debugging this, but I thought I would post my attempt for others.
