Hello fbmines,

please make sure you've read and understood the Wine bug reporting guidelines
next time you report a bug.

https://wiki.winehq.org/Bugs

--- quote ---
You tested with a clean Wine directory (default location: "~/.wine", z: drive
-> / link exists, no DLL overrides).
--- quote ---

vs.

--- quote ---
winsock error has disappeared when removing some other Windows program than
MsMoney, MsMoney still crash in Wine, i create a new bug report specific to
this error, this bug report can be abandonned,
--- quote ---

Don't install multiple applications in the same WINEPREFIX unless you know the
implications. Bug reports from "shared" software installations will be usually
treated as INVALID.

--- quote ---
MSMoney3 run once 
--- quote ---

MSMoney3 = Microsoft Money 3.0 from 1994 (16-bit app)?

https://archive.org/download/microsoft_money/ms_money.zip

2x1.44 MB floppy disk release

That's a pretty ancient piece of software. Running that with Wine would be more
of an academic exercise rather than for practical reasons.

Coming back to your bug reports... Please spend more time on research before
creating bug report after bug report and abandon them shortly thereafter.
Having a bunch of bug reports with rather confusing information is not very
appealing to others. They might get ignored in the end which is probably not
what you want.

If this is really Microsoft Money 3.0 then retest with most recent Wine
version, preferably Wine 6.0 and provide exact information on the behaviour.

* install in clean (new!) WINEPREFIX
* run the application 'MSMONEY.EXE'?
* report back if whatever problem persists
* make sure to attach full console output, crash backtrace etc. and describe
exactly how to reproduce
