LinuxQuestions.org - slack 10, wine & turbotax

Hey folks,
I feel like a complete dork asking anather wine question as LQ is filled with them. But after
search and reading some, I think I'm doing it right, but I can't get things going.

I'm getting ready to do taxes. I used to install 98, do the taxes, and then format the drive,
well, this year I'm trying to do it through wine (to avoid installing windows on general principle).

Anyway, I downloaded wine-2005-01-11 from linuxpackages. Installed it and typed
' winecfg ' , it made a .wine directory, and a window came up asking some questions, and
I went through all that just fine. I can type: ' wine /mnt/cdrom/setup.exe ' and install turbotax.
It even makes an icon on my KDE desktop for it. BUT I get a C++ runtime error when I
try to run it and it stops there.

Do I need to get/install more .dll files or some other windows program(s)? Is there a better
setup program for wine (although the setup seems fine, but the directory structure is a
bit bare) ? Anyone get Turbotax working through wine?

This is on a clean Slack 10 install.
Thanks in advance

(p.s. this is my first attempt at wine besides dabling with it when I first started using linux,
so go a bit slow if you don't mind :) )

[EDITED]
Things are going down hill fast. Now I can't even finish the install of TT2004. It askes for
the 2nd CD (state), starts that, but then tells me the 1st one wasn't finished. I might
be going to plan B if this frustration keeps up.

[EDITED]
Please disregard this post. 5 hours of trying just to run 1 program for a week
or so is my limit. Going to plan B. Maybe If I get some time down the road I'll play
around with wine some more. Thanks anyway..
