Bug ID: 41155 Summary: Excel 2007: found unreadable content in .xlsx Product: Wine Version: 1.9.16 Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown Assignee: wine-bugs@winehq.org Reporter: ddascalescu+wine@gmail.com Distribution: ---
Created attachment 55374 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=55374 Tiny Excel file that opens perfectly fine in a VM but fails in Wine
The attached 2-row .xlsx file opens perfectly fine in Excel 2007 installed in Windows XP, but fails to open in the very same Excel 2007 installed in Wine, with the error:
"Excel found unreadable content in ... Do you want to recover the contents of this workbook? If you trust the source of the workbook, click Yes."
The file is located in the same directory as an .xls file that opens just fine.

--- Comment #2 from Rosanne DiMesio dimesio@earthlink.net --- I can't reproduce this; the file opens perfectly fine on my system. Tested in 1.9.16, Excel 2007, with and without the riched20 override.

--- Comment #3 from Bruno Jesus 00cpxxx@gmail.com --- Maybe related to locale difference?

--- Comment #4 from Dan ddascalescu+wine@gmail.com --- I haven't touched riched20.dll.
Running on Linux Mint 18 Cinnamon.
The locale was never changed from US English.
Both files were opened from a Truecrypt drive.
Not sure what else to add... ?

--- Comment #5 from Dan Dascalescu ddascalescu+wine@gmail.com --- Moving the file to ~/, or to ~/.wine/drive_c made no difference.
excel.exe is 17,891,112 bytes and its MD5 is 0187bdafbafaf967bb91b4f2d8e33bc8.
The version is 12.0.4518.1014.

--- Comment #6 from Rosanne DiMesio dimesio@earthlink.net --- I just noticed you are using a 64 bit wineprefix. Office 2007 requires a 32 bit one.
Please retest in a clean 32 bit wineprefix. Install Office following the instructions on https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=4992.

--- Comment #7 from Dan Dascalescu ddascalescu+wine@gmail.com --- Created attachment 55444 --> https://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=55444 Extra Excel window
Installing in a 32-bit prefix avoided the problem of opening that .xlsx file.
One note re. the installation instructions: "Note that while the installer will appear to complete successfully in a 64 bit wineprefix, the installed applications will not be usable due to bug 30785." - this is incorrect. The applications are usable, at least as of Wine 1.6.3 and 1.9.16.
However, even manipulating *one* Excel file while switching among apps is a major pain, due to #23108 and #41159. After I open a file, there's an extra window that clutters the workspace, while the real window with the spreadsheet gets minimized in the bottom left of the Excel app window.
Is this a known problem with MDI support?
