unable to run excel 2000 under wine

[Dan Sawyer]

All,

Excel 2000 does not run under wine. The error has been consistent for 10
wine releases or more. The system is FC7 with all the upgrades
installed. The error is consistent with both locally built wine and with
package rpm versions. The other parts of office, word, etc run
successfully. This is a fresh install of excel.

If you've filed a bug for a problem, please include a link
to the bug when discussing it; that will save us time.
In this case, it's
http://bugs.winehq.com/show_bug.cgi?id=10725

I assume you're starting the app from its own directory
(after the yelling from Vitaliy)!

Suggestion: try running it with Crossover from Codeweavers.
That's essentially plain old wine with a few flourishes,
and it's known to run Office 2000 well.
If that doesn't work, we'll call in an exorcist
