--- Comment #3 from Rosanne DiMesio dimesio@earthlink.net --- You left out a couple of important steps from your instructions. First, Manual Unpacking is selected by default in the Plugins menu, and the menu itself is grayed out, so it cannot be changed. You need to install winetricks vb6run to work around that. Second, xdoc2txt.exe requires mfc42.dll, so that too has to be installed with winetricks.
After getting that sorted out, I compared folders with .doc and .xls files, and even compared two .docx files directly. No crash.
Which brings us back to your unsupported, patched Wine version: that may be the cause of the crashes you are getting. If it is, this bug is invalid. You need to retest in plain Wine.
