Hello Arc,

Note that I had Quicken 2000 Deluxe installed into my ${HOME}/.wine and working
fine over the years, surviving multiple computer upgrades (all the the way from
Fedora Core 9) up until I pulled down wine-5.22 packages a couple days ago.

while re-using the same WINEPREFIX with many Wine releases over many years is
certainly preferred by end-users, it won't work all the time. Over time it will
accumulate files and registry entries that might cause a breakage at one point.
If you share the prefix with multiple applications the risk is even higher.
Sometimes it's better to start over with fresh prefix. That's why its important
to keep personal data always separate from the WINEPREFIX itself ("virtual c:
drive"). Usually this is taken care of if you save to "My Documents" as it
points outside of prefix into user's $HOME. But it's better to even further
relocate your app-specific data into an own folder structure as these "special"
folders are shared among prefixes.

Coming back to original problem: Your backtrace is essentially the same as
previous one. I still can't reproduce the crash with clean (new) WINEPREFIX.
Neither with Wine 5.22 nor with Wine 6.0-rc1

I get the same error 'Cannot open file' on first startup and just dismiss it.
The app searches for '*.QDF', '*.QDB' and '*.QDT' in 'C:\\QUICKENW' (default
install dir). Since nothing is found the app tries to open
'C:\\QUICKENW\\~QW~LINK.QDF' which doesn't exist either. It gets created the
first time one creates a new project -> error is harmless.

After that the splash screen disappears. The main user interface is shown and I
create a new project (via file menu). This gets one to the 'Account setup' and
input of actual finance data.

I'm on Fedora 32 as well, with XFCE desktop.

Summarizing: You install Quicken 2000 Deluxe in a fresh (new) WINEPREFIX = no
other software installed and still get the crash on first run?

Could you run the following command in terminal ("cd" to Quicken installation
directory before):

--- snip ---
WINEDEBUG=+seh,+relay,+loaddll,+win,+msg wine ./QW.EXE >>log.txt 2>&1
--- snip ---

The log file will be large.
You need to compress it before attaching to the bug report.

--- snip ---
tar cjvf log.tar.bz2 log.txt
--- snip ---

Attach 'log.tar.bz2' file to the ticket.

Regards
