--- Comment #35 from Linux User #330250 linuxuser330250@gmx.net --- I just installed Microsoft Office 2003 Professional (german, if that matters), System Builder (OEM, was sold separately in Europe, X11-45338) and it worked with the work-around suggested in Comment 18, for me:
$ WINEARCH="win32" WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine/Microsoft Office 2003" wine-staging "msiexec" /i "C:\INST\pro11n.msi"
(I copied the contents of the CD-ROM to $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/INST beforehand...)
I could then also apply Service Pack 3 (german), i.e. this one:
$ sha256sum Office2003SP3-KB923618-FullFile-DEU.exe 6768d79446f64970d68469341fe79ddd96b751ba22ffefba9652cdf6aa19c80b Office2003SP3-KB923618-FullFile-DEU.exe
Word, PowerPoint and Outllok run flawlessly AFAICS, but Excel has an issue with a plugin. I disabled it (as suggestes by Excel) and then it ran.
Activation over the Internet worked (I had startet WINWORD.EXE first, so this is when it was activated).
I used WINEARCH="win32" WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine/Microsoft Office 2003" wine-staging "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\WINWORD.EXE" on Gentoo to run Word 2003 and the other .EXEs respectively.
wine-staging is 3.7, Gentoo USE="X alsa capi cups custom-cflags fontconfig gecko gphoto2 gssapi jpeg kerberos lcms ldap mono mp3 ncurses nls openal opencl opengl osmesa pcap perl png pulseaudio realtime run-exes s3tc sdl ssl (staging) themes threads truetype udev udisks v4l vaapi vulkan xcomposite xml -dos -gsm -gstreamer -netapi -odbc -oss -pipelight -prelink -samba -scanner (-selinux) {-test} -xinerama" ABI_X86="32 64 (-x32)"
I could also install FileFormatConverters.exe (sha256sum: 31d0a693952474472887896d85f2ce55746b0c48f7bc6fae80386fc31ca0c290) and compatibilitypacksp3-kb2526297-fullfile-de-de.exe (sha356sum: 2142391adf38b12611a7e41d6a3cb9c3c5500ac5139b5380a302808d0b474d5c), but I don't know how I could install the other updates that came in .cab files, like excel_6b6c723f3a4be24058b0b8e73f671f5cbd1854bb.cab and so on...
I have a collection of those fixes from a WSUS Offline Update .iso I made a few years back, but I couldn't directly run UpdateInstaller.exe in Wine, because it quit right after opening the command prompt (cmd.exe). Maybe a script issue from wsusofflineupdate as it wasn't designed to run in Wine... OR I need to set the USE="dos" feature for wine-staging in Gentoo???
