Problem Install MS Office with Wine Windows Program Loader

Brew · Post by **Brew** » Fri Aug 01, 2008 11:40 am

I have installed Wine 1.1.2 and have Ubuntu 8.04. When I try to install MS Office 2003 with "Wine Windows Program Loader" and click Office 2003 on the CD Welcome menu, nothing happens. No error message.

Try running the setup.exe directly rather than using the cd autorun.

I did try to install using the setup.exe and nothing happens.

Open a terminal, cd to the directory where the installer is located, and run it with the command

Code: Select all

wine setup.exe

(Use the actual name of the setup file for setup.exe.) If it still doesn't install, copy any messages that appear in the terminal and post them here.

I am doing that now, and I am getting the following:
larry@GigabyteG31:/media/cdrom0$ wine setup.exe

fixme:imm:ImmDisableIME (-1): stub
fixme:advapi:CheckTokenMembership ((nil) 0x12d800 0x336d3c) stub!

fixme:ole:NdrCorrelationInitialize (0x339940, 0x339540, 1024, 0x0): stub
err:rpc:RpcRaiseException handler continued execution

It did not return to the prompt. I waited for 3 or 4 mins. and the cd was showing no activity so I closed the Office menu screen. When I did that the following info. came up along with the prompt:

fixme:font:WineEngRemoveFontResourceEx :stub

What happens when you run wine notepad?

Notepad works fine - file saved okay.

Have you set any dll overrides?

No dll overrides.
I really appreciate your help in trying to get Wine to open MS Office

Try deleting or renaming your .wine directory, then run setup.exe from the terminal. A new, clean .wine should be created automatically.

If it installs, then something in your old .wine was interfering with the installation. If it doesn't, I'm afraid I don't know what's going on.

Got the same info. on the terminal screen

larry@GigabyteG31:/media/cdrom0$ wine setup.exe

err:rpc:RpcRaiseException handler continued execution

I did rename the .wine dir and it created another.

I really appreciated your time and help to resolve this problem.

I just noticed this:

so I closed the Office menu screen.

I'm not sure what you mean by the "menu screen." Do you mean the install dialog? I ask, because "menu" makes me think you are still using the the cd's autorun. I don't have a menu when I install Office 2003--the installer starts directly from setuppro.exe. If you're still going through some sort of menu, try searching the cd for a file that will start the install directly.

It is the install screen - where you choose what programs to install, Office, etc. I have an All-in-One CD. I am using the Setup.exe file to load.
Thanks,
