Quicken 6 won't install -- help!



I took the plunge, and bought my first piece of Mac software for Executor.  
Quicken 6.  According to all reports I gathered, it is reported to work (for 
the most part) under Executor, the only known problem being with the Reports 
and Graphs feature (which I don't use that often, to be honest, so big deal). 
Even teh installer (based on StuffIt technology) was reported to work fine.

Unfortunately, the software failed to install for me, either in the DOS or 
Linux version of Executor.

Basically, I get up to the point where I am offered the choice of Easy or 
Custom Install.  (It didn't even work up to then, until I set the Installer's 
preferences to show system 7.0 and enable System 7 spoofing).  When I click 
on "Install", the program crashes -- no error messages in Executor, nothing; 
the Executor application closes and returns me to the DOS prompt (under DOS), 
and the Executor window just disappears from my X11 desktop (under Linux).

Under Linux, I simply get a "Segmentation fault" error from UNIX itself.  
Under DOS, however, I do get some traceback information, which I have 
attached to this message.

I have tried this under 1.99q6, and also under 1.99q9 (which I just upgraded 
to) under both platforms, with no luck.

This is just the STANDARD Quicken 6 for Macintosh, on 3.5" HD disks.  This is 
NOT the Quicken "Deluxe" or CD-ROM or any other fancy thing.

Please help -- I'd really like to get this working.  Thanks!!!
