Please attach (as a text file) complete terminal output.
You sure you have clean ~/.wine directory and latest Wine?

Hi

I re-installed Ubuntu over Suse.  As far as I know it is a clean Unbuntu since
I chose it to format over the whole hard drive.  I then went to get Wine and
installed per instruction on first shot.  As a new Linux type, 3 days from the
Windows world, I'm not sure how to get you the terminal wine output requested.

Okay thanks I think

This helps me how?  I read through the list where none of these situation seem
to be equal to mine.

Simply put, how do I enable file print share share within Wine Linux (I assume)
in order to proceed with installing Office 2003, re-importing pst files in
Outlook and getting on with life.

Man, blue screen of death is looking awfully good right now

Bugzilla is not a support forum, it´s for reporting bugs. The AppDB/forums may
have a guide for this.

I'm not sure how my question gets answered in AppDB/forums, while I can see a
case for WineHQ.  In any event I am a potential Wine user who remains without
answers to a question.  One person's AppDB is another bug.  It would seem buggy
when I did as instructed and Wine is not acting as promoted - for converting
over windows users.  Can anyone help me install my office 2003 within Wine? 
How do I get past current print and file block?

We'd like to help, but we can't see what's on your computer screen. When you
can provide the necessary info, reopen the bug. Otherwise, consider using
OpenOffice, Crossover Office, or whatever OS you like to use.

INVALID???

What information do you need other than provided?

I just installed Ubuntu 8.10 this week.  I installed Wine.  I put my Office
2003 in the CD.  I open it with Wine Open and get the error mentioned regarding
print and file share.

I asked earlier how to get requested output since I stated that I am a three
day Linux user, from the Windows world.

I wait for days to get answers and in less than a half hour - it is marked
invalid.

Again I'm willing to figure it out.  Anyone out there who can help?

Mike

Closing invalid. DO NOT reopen until you can provide requested information.

This is NOT support channel. No one provides any help/hints/hand holding here. 
This is place where YOU report bugs. No one obligated to do anything with them.

It is a BUG if I cannot install - what Wine HQ says I can do with it.

Where's your support channel if that's where I am suppose to start and I'll go
there - am I to assume that they will be just as gentle there.

As a new 3 day old Ubuntu user from the Windows world, why would anyone assume
that I would know what is a terminal output?  Are you asking for a print screen
for instance.  If you are referring to application, accessories and then
terminal, then I've got it.  Now what?  I assume that there is a command to be
entered in order to gain the output that I need to submit.  What's the command?
 If you can help, then I can give you your terminal output - as I have said now
for the third time.

I welcome those who can positively help me, help them - to fix my install
issues.  Thanks

Are you FAQ'in me?  This is #1 bug/support mistake not seen since DOS.

I don't have time for reading, I'm a former windows user - not to mention I've
got a business to run.

That said I got past the initial bug reported i.e. Office 2003 doesn't install.
 Plus I did it without a terminal output which is eerily similar to DOS command
prompts.

I now open Outlook where everything is fine, except I get a Word error that I
don't have enough memory to use it. To reiterate I open Outlook and get a Word
memory error.  I have 2Gb of RAM.

So I open Word and so far it seems to work.

I open Excel and and Powerpoint, where both seem to hang - like a bad date.  At
least with the blue screen of death, I knew that I was dead.

Oh and another thing, I installed Maxtor software.  Why?  Well of course Linux
can't read my OneTouch USB external storage - where I backed up all my previous
Windows world files.  Imagine it installs but stalls at the end of course
around the services area it seems.

Therefore I challenge Wine project members - IF you are seeking to bridge the
conversion of former Windows users to the Linux - THEN feel free to convert me.
 Linux and Wine promises have put my business in a tough position.

Again I welcome positive, constructive and useful bug support. Wine is 'no
question' a buggy application to date.

Good luck otherwise

Feel free to ask for a refund.

And now please stop abusing bugzilla, this is not the appropriate place for
that sort of ranting. I'd suggest /dev/null instead.

says you need to do 
  wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks
  sh winetricks riched30 msxml3
before installing.   If that's the case, then this is indeed a
valid bug (perhaps poorly reported).

If somebody can confirm the above, we should probably open a

because of the bad vibe in the comments).

I can confirm that it is a bug.  And yes, I'm frustrated with making it work.

Since initial post, I was able to finally install Office 2003 from Small
Business Edition CD within Ubuntu 8.10 on Toshiba Tecra M2

Before you ask, I know where the Terminal app is but I don't know how to get
you an output as Austin repeatedly asked for it.

So far, Word works.  Outlook opens and works but at the start up it gives you a
Word 11.0 error, of not enough memory.  Clicking on Import function, I get a
'operation fail' error.

Excel seems to be ok to date, PowerPoint as well

Publisher opens but attempting to save any test document causes it to crash

At your disposal,

Mike
