Office 365 in Wine 4.1

Post by Thorium232 »

I'm trying to run a university license of Office 365 Pro on Linux (Solus), according to these methods:
https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager. ... &iId=35527
https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager. ... ngId=98964

Installation seems to work fine, but any application crashes immediately after launching.
The terminal mentioned the 2 missing DLLs despite having added them. It mentioned them missing in drive_c/Program Files/Microsoft Office/root/Client/ in stead of drive_c/Program Files/Microsoft Office/root/Office16/
Only thing that changed after adding them is that now I receive a Windows-styled crash message (with the "Send" and "Don't send" options)

The second URL I refer to mentions crashing at launch because of activation not working...

(Using Wine 4.1 on Solus, same problem occured with a 3.x version on KDE Neon)

I have Access 365/2019 working on my Ubuntu 18.04 installation so the below tips may help you. If you have the ability I would try making a copy of your wine prefix and copying it to an Ubuntu VM and seeing if that makes any kind of difference.

I would run a winecfg on your prefix and make sure that the operating system is set to Windows 10 (if you did this previously winetricks may have set it back to Windows 7 or something to install a library).

Other than that I would try some of the registry hacks if you haven't already. Run wine regedit and then try some of these to see if they help:

HKCU/Software/Wine/X11 Driver/UseXVidMode = "N" (REG_SZ)
HKCU/Software/Wine/X11 Driver/UseXRandR = "N" (REG_SZ)
HKCU/Software/Wine/Direct3D/MaxVersionGL = hex value "0x00030002" decimal value 196610
HKCU/Software/Wine/Direct2D/max_version_factory = 0 (REG_DWORD)
