Unable to install Office 2007 on Redhat 5.4

chadv99 · Post by **chadv99** » Tue Apr 06, 2010 9:46 am

I'm having problems getting Office 2007 to install on Redhat 5.4. I've installed wine 1.1.42 from source. I've installed gecko according to the WineHQ FAQ. I don't have any winetricks or any tweaks installed or set. I have the Office CD mounted using the "unhide" option.

I cd to my mounted directory /Office2007 and run "wine ./setup.exe". The Windows installer kicks off ok, but almost immediately I get the error "setup cannot continue because a required file is either corrupted or not available. Run Setup again from the original source disk or download location. Can anybody help me out? The terminal output from running wine setup.exe is listed below. Any help is much appreciated.

$ wine setup.exe

Did you start with a clean prefix?

Install libgnutls.

If that doesn't help--are you sure the cd and drive are okay? Try copying the files from the cd to your hard drive and installing from there.

Thanks for the responses! I appreciate it. I am a Linux admin but don't have much experience with Wine.

John - I not sure what a "clean prefix" means. Maybe I can try that if you tell me what it means. I did start with a completely new install of Redhat 5, installed wine from source and had no old .wine directories in my user home.

I've installed on the libgnutls I could find and it did not help:
# rpm -qa|grep gnutls
gnutls-utils-1.4.1-3.el5_2.1
gnutls-devel-1.4.1-3.el5_2.1
gnutls-1.4.1-3.el5_2.1

I had already tried copying the install cd to the local hard drive and that had not worked either.

Any other ideas? I appreciate any help you can provide. Still getting the following output after installing the gnutls rpms.

"setup cannot continue because a required file is either corrupted or not available. Run Setup again from the original source disk or download location"

I think your version of gnutls is too old. One of the reasons I had to upgrade from openSUSE 10.3 to 11.1 about a year ago was because the libgnutls available was too old for Wine (and a couple of other things), and that was version 1.6.1. The one on my system now is 2.4.1, and even that's getting fairly old.
