Following the latest instructions on AppDB with the latest wine version (4.11-1), everything runs beautifully. Word and Powerpoint run flawlessly so far, but whenever I close a file in Excel, I get a small error window that says "DDE failure." And then, Excel sequentially tries to open my file with a number of different extensions tacked on. For example, "test.xlsx.COM" then "test.xlsx.EXE" then ".BAT", ".CMD", ".JS", ".JSE", ".WSF" etc. And of course, since none of those files exist, Excel just opens with an error each time. This only occurs when I launch Excel by double-clicking a .xlsx file in the GNOME file browser. This seems to suggest it's something related to the MIME entry wine creates for it.
Here is the relevant line from ~/.local/share/applications/wine-extension-xlsx.desktop :
Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/akash/.msoffice" wine start /ProgIDOpen Excel.Sheet.12 %f
Workaround is to remove "/ProgIDOpen Excel.Sheet.12" from this line.
