A user complained in http://winehq.org/pipermail/wine-users/2008-May/033647.html that he couldn't get Microsoft Office Communicator 2005 working, so I tried it. Turns out you can download a trial from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9253DBEA-CC4F-4934-... sha1sum is d617c41f3b252b3689ff22623dd1c3f3da1282fb OfficeCommunicatorEVAL.EXE
Oddly, when you run that .exe in wine, it says "Extracted" but doesn't go on to run the installer. Maybe this is a bug, but I skipped over it by just using cabextract to unpack it, and ran the .msi with start.
The .msi puts up the usual dialog boxes, but when you try to click on 'Next' in the installation location dialog, it ignores you.
