--- Comment #3 from Ulrich Gemkow ulrich.gemkow@ikr.uni-stuttgart.de --- Thanks for looking into this!
I use a script based install which gives me reproducible installs.
It is a clean wineprefix. The application is "Microsoft Office 2007 Standard" (maybe not exactly the retail version, it is a download version for universities).
I tried with a highly customized Ubuntu 18.04 and with a mostly standard Ubuntu 16.04 with no difference.
The steps which my scripts do are
- delete the wineprefix directroy when it exists (and ensure that wineserver is not running from a preivious run)
- create the wineprefix directory
- call wineboot for this prefix
- call winecfg to let the user set the display resolution (and an override for riched20 which is required by office 2007)
- call the office 2007 install program
The first window of the installer with the buttons "Install now" and "Customize" shows the problem.
Please tell me when log files are helpful and I will add them
