This file cannot be saved using wine 1.0rc4 on Ubuntu Hardy

Hi Wine,

First things first, here are some information about my system :

I'm using Ubuntu Hardy,

# wine --version
wine-1.0-rc4

# uname -a
Linux minimal 2.6.24-18-generic #1 SMP Wed May 28 20:27:26 UTC 2008 i686
GNU/Linux

I'm using "Microsoft Office 2002 (10.6501.6626) SP3".

I'm launching the software with the gnome launcher : `env
WINEPREFIX="/home/user/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office10\EXCEL.EXE"`

Here is the bug and how to reproduce it :
1) Launch Excel 2002
2) An error message appears once the software is loaded : "Erreur d'accès de
fichier. La connexion réseau a peut-être été perdue." which can be loosely
translated into "Error accessing the file. Network connection has perhaps been
lost."
3) Ignore the error by clicking "Ok"
4) Open a specific file (I couldn't find some common stuff between the files
that cannot be saved, even some highly complex files could be saved while some
very simple couldn't)
5) Try to save the file
6) An error message appears : "Disk full"
7) Click "Ok"
8) Another error message appears : "Document not saved" ("Document non
enregistré.")
9) That's it : _some_ documents are just impossible to save, which is a bit
pointless :>

You'll find a file that can't be saved using wine-1.0-rc4 (the bug was also
present is rc3).
For the information, it's possible to open and save the same file with cxoffice
6.2.0-1.

One last thing : I have 13GB free on / and 167GB free on /home, the permissions
are ok in every directories I tried to save the files in.

How about attaching just a plain log no debug options? Also include exact
command line with current work directory.

Which file system is this file on?

The command line was :
$ pwd
/home/acid
$ env WINEPREFIX="/home/acid/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office10\EXCEL.EXE"

I just followed the guide
(http://www.winehq.org/site/docs/wineusr-guide/bug-reporting) using the option
WINEDEBUG=+relay for the previous log.

You'll find attached another log (without debug mode on).

The file system I'm trying to save on is "reiserfs", not ntfs (I'm already
aware of the bug preventing from saving on ntfs partition).

The bug is also present in wine version rc5 and 1.0.0.

It's affecting Excel 2002 (named XP) and Excel 2003.

I've seen some other report of that bug on numerous forums, shouldn't that bug
status changed ?
(eg. : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=714887)

I'm not sure if the severity level is high enough, because without the saving
option, the application is totally useless (except perhaps to just look at
existing document without changing it..).

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.

I'm having the same problem with MS Excel 97 on Debian Etch (Wine 1.0 RC1) and
Debian Lenny (Wine 1.0). Despite the fact that MS Excel complains that the
"Disk is full," the problem has absolutely nothing to do with available storage
space.

In my case, I can work around the problem (sometimes) by saving the spreadsheet
as a "MS Excel 5.0/95 Workbook"

======= ====== ===
Problem SOLVED !!!
======= ====== ===

Just to follow up on my earlier post ... I think I have found a way to overcome
this bug. So far I have only tested it on Debian Lenny (my Debian Etch computer
is at the office), but I'm fairly certain it will work on that computer too.

First, some background: I moved my ~/.wine/ directory to a different location
(for backup). Next, I installed MS Office 97 into a fresh ~/.wine/ directory.
That failed to solve the problem, so I deleted the whole ~/.wine/ directory and
downgraded my version of Wine to 0.9.25 (the version in Debian Etch). Once
again, I installed MS Office 97 (into the fresh ~/.wine/ directory). That still
failed to solve the problem.

So once again, I deleted my ~/.wine/ directory. Next, I took an installation of
IEs4Linux and copied the contents of the ~/.ies4linux/ie6/ directory into a
fresh ~/.wine/ directory and installed MS Office 97 one more time. That _solved
the problem_ !!!

To test my solution, I opened a few spreadsheets created by MS Excel 2003
(running on MS Windows XP), modified them and saved them with MS Excel 97
running in Wine 0.9.25 without any problems. Those tests included one 2.3 MB
spreadsheet and I also reopened them and resaved them without any problems.
Next, I upgraded my version of Wine to 1.0 (the version currently in Debian
Lenny) and effortlessly opened, edited and saved the original MS Excel 2003
spreadsheets.

Lesson #1:  Although we happened to discover this bug very recently, the fact
that it also occurs in Wine 0.9.25 indicates that it has (in reality) been a
problem for a very long time.

Lesson #2:  The fact MS Excel can save files when installed into a ~/.wine/
directory with MS Internet Explorer 6 indicates that the bug is caused by a
faulty replacement for one of Microsoft's own DLL files.

Why does MS Internet Explorer 6 solve the problem? MS Internet Explorer
provides some of the most critical DLL files. (In fact, removing it from an
installation of MS Windows will kill Redmond's operating system). So replacing
some of Wine's DLLs with Microsoft's own DLLs provides the libraries MS Excel
needs to properly save a file.

I hope this helps!

Using native dlls is a workaround. You should figure out which native dll
solves the problem, so we can narrow down where the bug lies and fix it in
Wine.

This bug still exists in Office 2007, wine 1.1.4 no overrides and a clean wine
install, the error message is similar to this one:

Microsoft Office Excel cannot access the file .... there are several
possible reasons:

- The file name or path does not exist
- The file is being used by another program
- The workbook you are trying to save has the same name as a
currently open workbook.

As the log is only two lines I will post it here:

fixme:storage:StgCreateStorageEx Stub: calling StgCreateDocfile, but ignoring
pStgOptions and grfAttrs
fixme:storage:StgCreateDocfile Storage share mode not implemented.

As an additional note John Halubeks solution didn't work.

Sorry to double post but this does not happen with xlsx files, don't know if
that sheds any more light on the issue.

I can confirm the problem exists in Excel 2003 and 2007 in 1.1.4, openSUSE
10.3. As others have reported, Excel 2003 gives a "disk is full" error message,
while Excel 2007 gives a message about being unable to access the file.

The problem is not random--it is limited to xls files saved by Open Office,
then opened in Excel under Wine. It might be a good idea to change the bug
summary to reflect this.

What I was actually as follows: (Debian 5, wine-1.0.1 )

~/cabextract dcom98.exe
~/cp ole32.dll   ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32

then I added WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ole32=n" in the command section in my desktop
shortcut

if run from command line it goes like this:
env WINEPREFIX="/home/user/.wine" WINEDLLOVERRIDES="ole32=n"  wine "C:\Archivos
de programa\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\EXCEL.EXE"

OR

use the Wine Configuration and in teh library tab choose to use ole32 as
native, it works for me.
