I just want to give a detailed report on what I did to install MS Office 97.
This might be valuable for bug-fixing as well as it gives advice for those that
want to do the same. I hope this is the correct place to report this.

On SuSE 9.1 Personal I did the following:

- Deinstalled all previous installations of wine
- Deleted all wine-related directories in ~/
- Installed wine20041019 from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wine
- Installed wine tools (http://www.von-thadden.de/Joachim/WineTools/)
  (I needed Xdialog from rpmseek.com first)
- Ran "wt" and went thru the following steps in section "Base Setup":
  - "Create a fake windows drive"
  - "TrueType Font Arial"
  - "DCOM98"
- Then installed "Windows Installer" from "Install Windows system software"
- Tried to install MS Office from wine tools, but error occured
- exited wine tools
- I already had the file "~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system/ole32.dll". So I copied
the native ole32.dll from the system32 directory of a (real) WindowsXP system to
a new created directory "~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/". However, I don't
think this had any effect at all.
- manually ran "wine setup.exe" from cd-directory
- installed Excel, Powerpoint, Word, Formula Editor, some Templates and some
other things without a problem. They all seem to run now. I can even print.

Some attempts to install Office on wine-20050111 did not work. However, I did
not follow exact the same steps as described above, so it might perhaps also
work with wine-20050111.
