Installing older versions of Wine

EthicsGradient · Post by **EthicsGradient** » Wed May 13, 2009 12:58 am

Hi, I need to install Office 2007 using wine. Unfortunately, there seems to be a bug which lets the programs run just fine under newer version of wine, but prevents installation unless you use Wine 1.1.16 or before. How can I Install wine 1.1.16?
Thanks in advance.

Download the source and compile it.

Or, depending on your distribution, use the archived packages.

I've downloaded the source code, and when I try to follow the readme and run wineinstaller my terminal simply disappears. I should mention I'm sing Ubuntu 8.10

You probably need development packages. Try running ./configure
--verbose or use
