How to install a .msp?

Lex Middelberg · Post by **Lex Middelberg** » Thu Jun 12, 2008 9:40 am

I am trying to install a WordPerfect Service Pack, the file is a .msp format.

Wine does nothing with it.

When I try: msiexec /p "etc" I get the following from the terminal:

root@Icarus:~# msiexec /p /media/disk/WordPerfect12/WP12SPEN.msp
No protocol specified

Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly.

fixme:msi:MSI_OpenDatabaseW open failed r = 80030002 for
L"/media/disk/WordPerfect12/WP12SPEN.msp

I'd appreciate any help.

DO NOT RUN WINE AS ROOT. By running Wine as root, you have damaged your
wine install. This is in the FAQ.

You'll need to fix your ~/.wine first before you can do anything else.

Why are you running as root?

Sounds like your session isn't setup correctly. All graphical apps
will fail. Log out of root, log in as a normal user, and try again.
