Office 2003 Service Packs

Post by tryfonaration »

Hi!
I just installed MS Office 2003 on Wine 0.9.58 and everything works fine. But when I tried to install the Service Packs I couldn't do it. Is there any tutorial somewhere?
Thanks in advance!

You need to tell us exactly what happened when you tried in order for anyone to help you.

Well, I installed MS Office 2003 Professional, then downloaded the SP3 from http://download.microsoft.com/download/ ... le-ENU.exe and then when executing it with Wine I got in the terminal:

fixme:advapi:RegisterEventSourceA ((null),"MDM"): stub
fixme:advapi:RegisterEventSourceW (L"",L"MDM"): stub
fixme:advapi:ReportEventA (0xcafe4242,0x0001,0x0000,0xc0001002,(nil),0x0000,0x00000000,(nil),0x7e3449c0): stub

err:msidb:msi_table_load_transform insert row failed
err:msidb:msi_table_load_transform insert row failed

and so on and then "The update cannot be applied." Any idea?

First off, how did you install Office 2003?
Let's do it again from scratch with as few native DLLs as possible.
e.g. clear out your .wine directory like this:
cd $HOME
mv .wine .wine.old
and then install MS Office 2003 without any native DLLs or tweaks, and
make sure it works.
http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=3214 suggests
you might need just two native DLLs, so if the installation fails, try
it again after doing
wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks
and then
sh winetricks msxml3
and/or
sh winetricks riched30

Hello,

The installation of office 2003 works just fine ( with lot of fixme and few err messages) on wine 0.9.58 (in Debian etch 2.6.18 ). Word seems to do fine as well (so far) even though dimesio mentioned in other thread (Gtk warning made xwine exit with fatal error) that :
There was a bug in 0.9.58 that caused some fonts to always display in bold in Word 2003. That bug was fixed in 0.9.60.
As for SP3, it is said in the Windows XP Service Pack 3 Overview :This update includes a small number of new functionalities, which do not significantly change customers’ experience with the operating system. In fact, Service Packs are supposed to enhance Windows performance. They do not add functionalities to other programs. So i do not see the point of installing SP3 on wine.

He's talking about service packs for Office (as opposed to Windows).
