Summary: Microsoft Office 2007 does not install with default rpcrt4.dll Product: Wine Version: 0.9.60 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: root@cybikbase.com
This bug is puzzling. With a freshly-installed (from budgetdedicated, i'm on Hardy Heron) Wine 0.9.60, I can start the Office 2007 installation, and it technically works. Entering data, choosing everything, all that works.
But when going to install said files, it doesn't progress. When checking in the terminal in which the installer was manually launched, the (builtin) rpcrt4.dll file makes it crash.
Here's where it gets weird: on a tutorial, it is said that CXGames' rpcrt4.dll makes the thing install. I get the source, get rpcrt4.dll.so to compile, copy it to my .wine/drive_c/windows/system32, and voilà, it installs. Then, delete it, and now it runs! It won't install with the STOCK Wine rpcrt4.dll, but it does with the CXG rpcrt4.dll, and the reverse is true for running the app.
I don't want to sound like a whiny bitch, but can someone investigate this? (I'd SO like to just shatter the minds of my friends by launching the setup.exe of office 2007 on Linux, install it, and get it working right under their eyes. So awesome a feeling it would be.)
Trace of wine-dbg available on demand. Actually, I'll be happy to provide everything needed to track this down.
