--- Comment #39 from darkblaze69 bigfoothart@gmail.com --- Thanks for the hint! I wish I could find this bug earlier to save myself countless hours to try to install Office 2010/2013. This should be presented on appdb.
That bugged me out that on one hardware I could install it but failed on the other ones, I compared packages to find out what the difference, and no luck. By finding this bug description I found out that indeed on old HW it worked well but on faster CPUs it failed.
Finally I was able to install Office 2013 on a modern 22-cores laptop. To make sure it will behave slow enough I tried as suggested with taskset to limit to 1-core. But that was not enough, also ran with:
nice -n19 wine setup.exe
and to really slow it down:
stress-ng -c <number_of_cpus>
And all installed!
So there's still no acceptable solution?
