I have tried couple of times installing MS Office 2010 32bit on Ubuntu Unity Trusty via Wine 1.7.
I have installed winbin, mono, win32 prefix, but when the installation process has started about 5 seconds, it appears: Microsoft Office 2010 encountered an error during setup.
Can anyone suggest the reason and solutions regarding the problem? Thanks.
If you've been re-using the same wineprefix where the install failed, that's one problem. Once the Office installer fails in a given wineprefix, it will always fail in that wineprefix. You need to try a clean one; either delete the wineprefix, or if you have other things installed there that you want to keep, install to a different one. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#wineprefix
If the installer still fails in a clean 32 bit wineprefix using 1.7.44, post terminal output.

Thanks for your suggestion! I removed the .wine file and create a new wineprefix (there is only "Program files" inside the prefiex, "Program files (x86) isn't exist, does it mean I have installed 32 bit prefix?)
But it came with the same result (installation error). I mounted an Office 2010 ISO for the installation. Do I need to install it using a physical CD-rom? (Could this be the problem?)
