[cup of bronze]

Good afternoon,

Im trying to install microsoft Office 2010 32bits using Wine on latest version of Ubuntu but i keep receving error msg about 5 secondes after hit install.

I have, wine version, wine1.6 1:1.6.2-0ubuntu4, on a 64bits computer and with a 32bits version of Office.
I try to install office this way, opening office folder and opening setup.exe with right click and open with wine, i enter the key, accept terms and chosing normal install, office starts to install, installer creates 4 folders in ubuntu and stops with just a message thats says Windows Office find an error and cannot be installed. I have done research and couldnt find an answer. Thank You.

Best regards.

Upgrade Wine to the latest development release and follow the instructions in the AppDB for installing. https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager. ... &iId=17336

If you still have problems installing to a clean, 32 bit wineprefix in current Wine, post terminal output. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log

Good morning,

The instructions on how to get a terminal output are exemplified with exe files, if i cant install Office i cannot try to launch Office and get a error log.

Best regards.

Good morning,

I'm a Ubuntu user for 2 weeks so be gentle.
I still couldn't install Office after all instructions and i couldn't get the error report following instructions bcs they are for when i have an .exe file installed.
When installer starts it installs 4 folders and stops short after 4/5 seconds but none .exe file is installed. I have latest Wine version, latest Ubuntu release, 64bit machine and a 32bit Office 2010 Home and Business version.

Best regards.

The instructions are for getting a log from running any .exe, installed or not. The installer is an .exe. Post the log from running the installer.

From the little bit you've posted, it looks like you're trying to install to a 64 bit wineprefix. You need a 32 bit wineprefix. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#32_bit_wineprefix

If it still doesn't work, post the complete terminal output from the installer. If it's too long to just paste in a post, attach it as a compressed file.

But i have, i have created a 32bit wineprefix in .wine/drive_c/new_folder and this operation gave me inside new_folder i get a wineprefix folder and this created more folders like dosdevices and drive_c wasnt this done correctly? so i created a new folder inside drive_c and choose this folder to install Office. I have followed the wiki from Wine to do this.

Dear dimesio,

I have solved this problem following some advice in Ubuntu forum,
I typed this in terminal
Open up the terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T. And type the following commands:
cd ~
rm -rf .wine
rm -f .config/menus/applications-merged/wine*
rm -rf .local/share/applications/wine
rm -f .local/share/desktop-directories/wine*
rm -f .local/share/icons/????_*.xpm

WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/.wine winecfg

After this i install Office in 5 minutes.
Thank you by the way.
