Summary: Error message about failed DDE communication when installing Office 97 Product: Wine Version: 0.9.12. Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-msi AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: Ronny.Standtke@gmx.net
I installed Office 97 (German) with wine-0.9.12 and the installer popped up the error message: "Die DDE-Kommunikation mit dem Desktop konnte nicht gestartet werden. [Abbrechen] [Wiederholen] [Ignorieren]"
My poor translation to English is: "The DDE communication with the desktop could not be startet. [Cancel] [Repeat] [Ignore]"
After clicking the [Ignorieren] Button the installation continues without problems.
