Bug #: 30735 Summary: MS Office 2000 SR1 installs unusable Product: Wine Version: 1.5.4 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: msi AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: ubrammer@t-online.de Classification: Unclassified
Installation of Office 2000 SR1 at wine 1.5.4 works with a success message. But the programs excel and word die silently latest after the first mousemovement.
Further digging in reveals: Installing MS office 2000 SR1 does not install due to bug http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29335 . This bug can be avoided bei copying the contents of the system-folder into windows/system32 and also installing mfc42 with winetricks.
Using the above workaround gave the following: The installer crashes from wine-1.3.7 up to 1.5.3 with another bug. The crash was fixed in wine 1.5.4 by http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30571 but the fix did not solve the unusable installation of office 2000.
The first bad commit regarding bug 30571 is commit 19a2d144b563f23dacfb127b94948b0f0f89b003 Author: Hans Leidekker hans@codeweavers.com Date: Fri Nov 12 15:05:55 2010 +0100 msi: Don't rebuild the target path for files from global assembly components.
Reverting this commit results in a good install until commit:2a59f016dbe716aaefec9ab94d47d7b8172d0b5b Author: Alexandre Julliard julliard@winehq.org Date: Tue Dec 20 11:42:45 2011 +0100 mountmgr: Add dynamic devices support using UDisks.
Wine with this commit compiled in, give an unusable office 2000 installation. A Wine version before this commit give a good office 2000 installation. A wineprefix with a good installation is usable in later versions of wine, which will not give a good installation.
I could not revert commit 2a59f016dbe716aaefec9ab94d47d7b8172d0b5b on top of wine 1.5.4. So I made logs of the install with the bisected version.
