--- Comment #21 from Ron ronleach@tesco.net 2009-01-19 12:28:57 --- Neither recent suggestions worked for me running Office97, Wine 1.1.9 from Fedora repository, FedoraCore8 (Linpus), Acer AspireOne netbook.
Blank stdole2.tlb in system32 folder had no effect. (filename in lower case - does it matter?)
Real oleaut32.dll, from W98se, in system, and in system32 folders, had no effect. Noted that oleaut32.dll in Wine 1.1.9 is approx 5kB, whereas W98se version seems to be around 600kB.
Note - did not change 'overrides', assuming that placement of the files was sufficient. But was that correct to do? Happy to test again, if mistaken here.
Symptoms remain:
Word97, opening VBA editor - 'cannot open macro storage' (twice, then VBA editor flashes on and immediately closes.
Excel97, opening an xls containing a macro - 'Not enough memory' VBA error Excel97, opening VBA editor, VBA editor flashes on then immediately closes.
Powerpoint97, opening VBA editor - 'an error occurred which powerpoint cannot manage, please close all documents'.
These are the same symptoms I had when running an earlier release (1.0 rc2?)on Debian Etch.
regards, Ron
