How do i issue "msiexec /i msxml3.msi" in the term

Post by GOgGA »

I found a way to install MS Office 2007 on ubuntu but the thing is i need to run something in the terminal. (Install msxml3.msi file from the Terminal window by issuing msiexec /i msxml3.msi)

I downloaded the msxml3.msi file and saved it to my desktop.

Now when i just put in "msiexec /i msxml3.msi" it gives me the following error (in the terminal):

gogga@gogga-laptop:~$ msiexec /i msxml3.msi
err:msi:copy_package_to_temp failed to copy package L"msxml3.msi"
fixme:msi:MSI_OpenDatabaseW open failed r = 80030002!

I would like to know how to do it. I got this help from this site: http://www.quicktweaks.com/2008/04/09/i ... ux/#more-5

That guy is SO clever.

</sarcasm>

Seriously, he says Install WINE. WINE what? 0.1? 0.9? 0.10?
0.9374372382 ? he doesn't specify any version or more details,
troubleshooting tips or anything. I'd say try contacting him and ask
him what WINE version did he use, or whatever he did to extract the
.msi file.

Good luck.

Use winetricks to install msxml3:

Code: Select all

wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks
and then

Code: Select all

sh winetricks msxml3
