Bug ID: 37222
           Summary: Office 2010 no longer installs usably.
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.6.2
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal

Backtrace after a first failed run of WinWord 2010

This does not happens with Ubuntu packages of Wine 1.6.2, but happens with
recent versions of the Debian (jessie) packaged version of wine (a Debian bug
report is underway).

The installation runs normally. When starting Winword for the first time, it
aks for name and initial, then displays a "configuration" progress bar, then
asks for a reboot.

If one clicks on yes, thge rebooot fails and gives an error message. When
asking for details, one gets the enclosed backtrace.

If one refuses to reboot, the normal Winword appears, but cannot be activated.

In short, the result is an unusable MS Office.

This seems to be a recent regression : an nstallation worked fine in february,
IIRC. But the Debian package is more recent than that. It might also be
Debian-specific.

I can't reproduce this; Office 2010 installs fine in openSUSE 12.3 and Wine
1.7.25 in a clean 32 bit wineprefix.

Upgrade to the latest development release and retest in a clean wineprefix.

Likely a packaging bug.

This is now also Debian bug#760509.

Re-marking it as "unconfirmed" : While Roseanne DiMesio was unable to reproduce
(on another platform), Austin English's "Likely a packaging bug" with no other
explanation is a little short on explanation. Wine packaging may have triggered
an existing Wine bug.

Further trials show that the problem is not distribution-bound :

wine .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Microsoft\ Office/Office14/WINWORD.EXE
==> failure as described above.

wine start /unix .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Microsoft\
Office/Office14/WINWORD.EXE
==> success.

wine "c:\program files\microsoft office\office14\winword.exe"
==> success also.

This is reproductible under Debian (Jessie) and Ubuntu (14.04.1). I was
misdirected by the fact that, currently, Debian Jessie's "application menu"
extension to Gnome doesn't display my "Wine" menu content, directing me to my
(simplistic) use of command line, whereas the Ubuntu menu uses "start /unix" +
a Unix path to a Windows shortcut (.lnk).

Michael Gilbert, of the Debian Wine gang explains that "Wine doesn't really
support unix paths anymore". See details on the Debian bug report #760509.

Isn't this a regression ? More to the point : is this documented ?

And, oh, by the way : the online help for start says :
"/unix         Utiliser un chemin Unix et lancer le fichier comme windows
explorer."
(Use a Unix path and launch the file like Windows Explorer)

What in hell is this supposed to mean ???

HTH,

Not a bug; that's how it's supposed to work, and yes, it is documented.
