Microsoft Office 365 installs but fails to run

Post by code_exec »

I installed Office 365 on Ubuntu 18.10 by following the instructions at https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager. ... &iId=35527

It installed successfully, but trying to run an app such as Word or Excel gives the following:

Code: Select all

wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x83d0b4a4 at address 0x7bc3fc79 (thread 0009), starting debugger...
0009:err:seh:raise_exception Unhandled exception code c0000005 flags 0 addr 0x7bc3fc79
The AppDB page for the installer gives it a "Gold" rating for Ubuntu despite this issue.

Any advice?

Apparently there has been a regression: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45703.

The bug report needs a regression test; you could help by running one. https://wiki.winehq.org/Regression_Testing

I tried upgrading to wine-devel (I was using wine-stable) and reinstalling Office under a new WINEPREFIX. Now it doesn't even install, and hangs at a random percentage.
