[cw-discuss] Quicken 7 does not see IE6

[Andrew Bogott]

IE6 can be installed in a win2k bottle, but because it does not install 
the necessary encryption libraries.  (That's because on a 'real' win2k 
system, the encryption system is already present.)

There are wine developers implementing the equivalent encryption tools, 
but unfortunately I don't have an estimate about when the work will 
solve this particular problem.

So, again, Quicken2006 may be your best bet for the moment.

Sorry that I don't have a better solution.
