[Wine] Re: problem running quickbooks

[Emegra]

Hi Martin
Thanks again for your help but I'm gonna test your patience a little now because I'm feeling this is getting a bit ahead of me but I'm prepared to have a go if with your forbearance if we can take this one stage at a time (please bear in mind I'm a 51 year old motor mechanic with as much knowledge of computing as Gengis Khan had of flower arranging) to start with and I'm not sure if this is really important but I still can't load quickbooks from the terminal I checked the path and noticed one directory is missing which is "Quickbooks Basic" inside the Program Files Folder I tried both the syntax you posted:
.wine/drive_c/Intuit/Program Files/qbw32.exe 
.wine/dosdevices/c:/Intuit/Program Files/qbw32.exe 

and then tried adding the missing directory as follows


graeme at Emegra ~ $ .wine/drive_c/Intuit/Program Files/qbw32.exe 
bash: .wine/drive_c/Intuit/Program: No such file or directory
graeme at Emegra ~ $ .wine/dosdevices/c:/Intuit/Program Files/qbw32.exe 
bash: .wine/dosdevices/c:/Intuit/Program: No such file or directory
graeme at Emegra ~ $ .wine/drive_c/Intuit/Program Files/Quickbooks Basic/qbw32.exe
bash: .wine/drive_c/Intuit/Program: No such file or directory
graeme at Emegra ~ $ .wine/dosdevices/c:/Intuit/Program Files/Quickbooks Basic/qbw32.exe
bash: .wine/dosdevices/c:/Intuit/Program: No such file or directory
graeme at Emegra ~ $ 

I'm sorry if I'm trying your patience but I feel it's important that I understand what I'm doing wrong here before we proceed further

Many Thanks 

Graeme
