Is there a way to install Office 2016?

[tavkomann]

I see that some people were able to at least finish the installation process of Office 2016 (32-bit) using WINE. It is also possible to get it running with CrossOver. However, I'm curious whether it is already possible to use some workarounds to get it running without CrossOver but WINE 3.0 somehow. Or do we have to stay patient?

I tried it on Debian Testing with wine-3.0-rc4 (set to 32-bit and Windows 7) and also installed dotnet 45 as well as msxml6 with winetricks (and set them as native in winecfg). However, the installation process abborts after about half a minute. It tells me that streaming Office was not possible due to a problem. For the complete terminal output including all of the fixme's see this file: https://hastebin.com/ifaxotusuh. The three errors which occur during the installation are as follows:

Code: Select all

005f:err:ole:PSFacBuf_CreateProxy Could not commit pages for proxy thunks
005f:err:ole:proxy_manager_create_ifproxy Could not create proxy for interface {85cb6900-4d95-11cf-960c-0080c7f4ee85}, error 0x8007000e
005f:err:ole:CoUnmarshalInterface IMarshal::UnmarshalInterface failed, 0x8007000e

I do not use any proxy. The same error is mentioned here: https://www.codeweavers.com/support/wik ... ng_failure. However, more than 9 GB of free disk space are available on this partition.

Does anyone have an idea how to fix these issues? Is there even someone who was able to install Office 2016 (32-bit or 64-bit, does not matter) properly (I only need PowerPoint)?

Help is very much appreciated, thank you in advance .

AFAIK, no one has ever been able to install 64 bit MS Office in Wine, so stick with 32 bit.

There was a regression affecting the MS Office 2010/2013 installers beginning with 2.17 that wasn't fixed until 3.0-rc5. No one reported anything for the 2016 installer, but there's a good chance it was also affected, so try again with 3.0-rc5.

Yes, I will.

so try again with 3.0-rc5.

I tried but I get the same errors. Here is the complete output: https://hastebin.com/ojatipofib

I don't know if it completely fixes the installation, but I've noticed that there was a commit for the Office 2016 installer:
https://source.winehq.org/git/wine.git/ ... d801f30c5b

It was done quite shortly after this post, so maybe a developer picked up on it
