I recently installed the latest 07252005 version of wine on my system which is running Fedora 4. The wine compile and install seemed to go smoothly. I also downloaded the documentation ZIP file from source forge. However, the Make procedure for the documentation failed to build.
I next attempted to install MS Office 2000 from a CD using wine but was not successful.
The Office installer apparently tries to install Internet Explorer version 4 and fails with a message
"the spilt of Internet Explorer is complete" contact web site xxxx for information about this problem. Click to exit. There is a drop down box which apparently offers the option of a full or partial install of Internet explorer. However, the menu options are blank.
After closing the error message dialog box , the installer appears to continue on getting more and more confused until it eventually locks up or dies.
I have tried numerous versions of wine with MS OFFice 2000.
However, I have had similar installation problems with all versions more recent than March 2004.
