Summary: Office Pro 2010 Trial: Word, Excel, and Powerpoint cannot open OOXML (docx, xlsx, pptx) files Product: Wine Version: 1.3.9 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dimesio@earthlink.net Depends on: 25492
Created an attachment (id=32457) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=32457) Trying to open an xlsx file
To reproduce: 1. Deselect Outlook when installing to get around bug 25476. 2. Start Excel. When the activation wizard comes up, click cancel (bug 25478) 3. Install urlmon with winetricks to get around bug 25492. 4. Try to open an xlsx file. Excel will throw up an error message that it found unreadable content in the file and ask if you want to recover the contents. If you click yes, it will tell you that the workbook cannot be opened or repaired.
Word and Powerpoint behave similarly, though the wording of their error messages is slightly different.
I don't have a workaround for this one. I tried winetricks msxml3, msxml4, and msxml6, but they did not help.
