--- Comment #8 from George Brower browerg@verizon.net 2008-06-20 11:15:24 --- I am running Ubuntu 8.04 and upgraded to wine-1.0 yesterday. I did not try to install Excel with the previous version (0.9 something).
After upgrading to wine 1.0, I installed MSO Excel 2003 and some shared components (not Word or any other apps) from a CD, activated it, and have the same problem.
I started Excel 2003 from the desktop: Wine > Programs > Microsoft Office > Microsoft Office Excel 2003
Excel opens normally
Opened a file from a USB memory stick, tried to save it under a different name, and got the same error.
Today I tried the fix Alexandre suggested on the Ubuntu forum (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5210994). It worked, but I agree that it would be a PITA.
I have not attached logs, etc. because my experience is so similar to Alexandre's, but I can if it would help.
