--- Comment #1 from owlbrudder@gmail.com 2011-05-07 18:37:29 CDT --- Subsequently, I found there is a new version of winetricks that does not provide DCOM98, so I assume the latest Wine does not need that tweak. I created a new .wine and installed Publisher2000 and Office97 into it, without using winetricks.
Publisher still gives the message "Windows is low on memory or your hard disk is full. Try closing other programs and freeing some space on your hard disk before starting Publisher"
Office97 components run quite well (there are several problems which are not the subject of this bug report, but Word and Excel seem to run OK; Access is a bit patchy as to what parts of it work; Powerpoint wizards get into a failure loop and it is impossible to close the window except by killing the process.)
As Publisher runs fine in the old .wine, but not in the new one, would it be any help for me to post here the differences between the two? I regret I still have not been able to track down the page which shows how to get Publisher2000 working.
