This is still *broken*, as of 0.9.31. 

Re #12, I think you missed the point of #11. Indeed, the programs don't work
properly once installed, but this is as a result of a failure of the installer. 

A workaround for this bug is to copy the dll into place manually. Assuming you
have the install disk (or disk image) mounted at /mnt/cdrom, do:
 cp /mnt/cdrom/OS/System/accwiz.dll .wine/drive_c/windows/system32/
winword.exe will now start normally, and allow you to type some text. 

Given how easy the workaround is, presumably it would be pretty easy to fix?

[My system: Ubuntu Edgy, and an absolutely default wine setup, as created by: rm
-rf ~/.wine; winemine]
