http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3214 says you need to do wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks sh winetricks riched30 msxml3 before installing. If that's the case, then this is indeed a valid bug (perhaps poorly reported).
If somebody can confirm the above, we should probably open a new bug report for this (reopening this one isn't a good idea because of the bad vibe in the comments).
I can confirm that it is a bug. And yes, I'm frustrated with making it work.
Since initial post, I was able to finally install Office 2003 from Small Business Edition CD within Ubuntu 8.10 on Toshiba Tecra M2
Before you ask, I know where the Terminal app is but I don't know how to get you an output as Austin repeatedly asked for it.
So far, Word works. Outlook opens and works but at the start up it gives you a Word 11.0 error, of not enough memory. Clicking on Import function, I get a 'operation fail' error.
Excel seems to be ok to date, PowerPoint as well
Publisher opens but attempting to save any test document causes it to crash
At your disposal,
Mike
