I tried again to install Office 97 on today's vanilla wine from cvs. Here's what I did, from the start: sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 mso97.iso /mnt rm -rm .wine winecfg # choose WinME emulation # Override odbccp32 # quit wine \mnt\setup.exe It worked great, right up to the end, where it failed with the dialog box "Accwiz.dll was unable to register itself in the system registry". Here are the unique fixme's from the log: fixme:font:WineEngRemoveFontResourceEx :stub fixme:font:CreateScalableFontResourceA (0,"c:\windows\offsetup.for","c:\windows\offsetup.ttf",(null)): stub fixme:ole:MkParseDisplayName (0x7eb38788, L"stdole32.tlb", 0x7b93ed34, 0x110): stub. fixme:ole:MkParseDisplayName (0x7eb38908, L"stdole32.tlb", 0x7b93ec60, 0x110): stub. fixme:ole:MkParseDisplayName (0x7eb38908, L"STDOLE32.TLB", 0x7b93ee88, 0x7eb3ab04): stub.
I've filed this as http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3689 along with a +ole,+dialog log. (+relay took waaaay too long to run.)
Having Office '97 running on plain Wine would make my life easier- my wife would no longer object so much to having Linux on all our computers :-)
So are those fixme's important, or just a distraction?
