------- Additional Comments From robert.bamler@gmx.de 2005-23-01 08:18 ------- I just want to give a detailed report on what I did to install MS Office 97. This might be valuable for bug-fixing as well as it gives advice for those that want to do the same. I hope this is the correct place to report this.
On SuSE 9.1 Personal I did the following:
- Deinstalled all previous installations of wine - Deleted all wine-related directories in ~/ - Installed wine20041019 from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wine - Installed wine tools (http://www.von-thadden.de/Joachim/WineTools/) (I needed Xdialog from rpmseek.com first) - Ran "wt" and went thru the following steps in section "Base Setup": - "Create a fake windows drive" - "TrueType Font Arial" - "DCOM98" - Then installed "Windows Installer" from "Install Windows system software" - Tried to install MS Office from wine tools, but error occured - exited wine tools - I already had the file "~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system/ole32.dll". So I copied the native ole32.dll from the system32 directory of a (real) WindowsXP system to a new created directory "~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/". However, I don't think this had any effect at all. - manually ran "wine setup.exe" from cd-directory - installed Excel, Powerpoint, Word, Formula Editor, some Templates and some other things without a problem. They all seem to run now. I can even print.
Some attempts to install Office on wine-20050111 did not work. However, I did not follow exact the same steps as described above, so it might perhaps also work with wine-20050111.
