This is the great dilemma I'm facing, as the title says I'm encountering an error message during installation on my Arch Linux.
I'm fine using the alternatives but work demands MS Office so here we are.
This is what I did:
1. Performed a system upgrade. (I already have winetricks and samba)
2. Setup clean 32 bit wineprefix.
3. Installed all the necessary and maybe even some unnecessary dependencies and libraries.
