Hello,

that should not be the case. Could try another Wine version?
Please look at the Wine AppDB first, it seems that Office 2000 does work
with Wine 0.9.53 quite well.
If it works with 0.9.53, the only thing you can do is to report and hope
it gets fixed soon.

And please, don't shout like that...

Have fun,
Lisa Denia

HPK:

Please take it easy on the exclamation marks. We can get your message
without them.

Can you try to get Wine 0.9.56 for your operating system and see if this
problem exists? If it does NOT exist, please try again with 0.9.57 and
if it does exist, let us know.

Thank you.

Hello,

I have found the cause of this problem and I am working on a solution. It looks like the Wine version of the "Windows installer" writes entries in the registry which cause all of Office 2000 to fail.

I will post detailed instructions in the topic http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=249 which has the title Wine 0.9.57 - Cannot Install/Use Office 2000 Premium when I'm happy with the fix.

Regards,
Charles.
