wine and h and r block taxcut


I am using mandriva 2006. I would like to get my vversion of h and r block taxcut to work in wine. The installation went fine. This the output of konsole when I try to run the program

[paul@localhost ~]$ wine taxcut
Warning: the specified Windows directory L"c:\\windows" is not accessible.
Warning: the specified System directory L"c:\\windows\\system" is not accessible.

I have tried running in root with no luck. I would appreciate the help.

C: is the directory it was installing to in wine.

if you want to do your taxes in linux, online, just goto turbo taxes web site.

Is there a non-TurboTax alternative?

Some of us no longer have any use for ChipSoft/Intuit & their ill-behaved software. If the OP wants to use TaxCut, let's help him/her do so.

paul i asume you did the initial wine 'setup' and that your versions match. did you install wine or compile it. sometimes compiling helps point out deficiancies ahead of time and makes your program work to it's max. it sounds scary, but is only 3 commands.

trying to put the prog in c:\\ seems odd... but i'm not tooo versed in wine.

archtoad: i was trying to help op-- by helping him get his taxes done before april 15th. i know how it is to pre-occupy myself with getting things done a certain way, when alternatives are clearly 'there'. i'm not saying paul shouldn't pursue his efforts.

and visting intuits site, using their resources, but purposefully NOT buying from them is actually hurting them, not supported them

last year they were the only decent web site that i could do my taxes, for free-- on my own. the paperwork goes dirctly to uncle sam and intuit has little to nothing to do with any of it other than hosting the web site (which i'm not even sure they actually host it or they pay for it, or what). same thing with the software, for all i know someone else wrote it and they are allowing them to use their name in hopes of getting people like us to 'pay' something.

Look in the file /home/yourusername/.wine/config and post the stanza that begins with [wine], eg. on mine its
Code:
[wine]
"Windows" = "C:\\windows"
"System" = "C:\\windows\\system32"
"Temp" = "F:\\"

;"ShowDirSymlinks" = "1"
;"ShowDotFiles" = "1"
