------- Additional Comments From Ronny.Standtke@gmx.net 2006-13-08 05:01 ------- I tested a bit more and noticed that setting the Windows version via winecfg helps here. The problem doesn't appear when setting the following versions: Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows NT 4.0. When selecting the following versions the DDE problem appears: Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003. When selectin any other (older) version Office 97 doesn't install anyway. Anybody here who can confirm that the DDE problem also appears with a native Win 2K, XP or 2003?
