Office 2007

Install

(10.25.11)

This works great:

From forum post: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=86436

Note: You should never run wine commands as root. Run it as your user.

...to get office 2007 working for me I installed bin32-wine, winetricks and then ran:

$ WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/win32 winecfg
and set windows to xp and then ran:
$ WINEPREFIX=~/win32 winetricks msxml3  gdiplus riched20 riched30 vcrun2005sp1 allfonts
Note: See winetricks section below!!!
$ WINEPREFIX=~/win32 wine setup.exe
and then to actually use any of the executables you must cd to the directory. IE:
$ cd ~/win32/drive_c/Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office12
$ WINEPREFIX=~/win32 wine ./EXCEL.EXE

You could set WINEPREFIX in your bash_profile, or make 32bit wine your default (then you only have to do WINEARCH=win32 winecfg). Anyway the two main problems I had were accidentally emulating 64bit (I know Wine Is Not Emulation) windows instead of 32 bit. Also I found that the programs hang if I didn't cd into the directory, probably because the dlls are linked with the local directory. Anyway everything works this way.

Note: I did not have to run via command or script like the guy does though. To execute the software I could just open it from the applicaiton menu.

winetricks

The droid font downloader in winetricks is broken. The url is part of the google git project atm. Either the maintainer of winetricks will update or kernel.org will change. I just chose to remove the droid font install from the winetricks script. I think you could create a .netrc file with password information in it but I did not test it or do it this way.

If you visit: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=blob_plain;f=data/fonts/ and generate a password in a webbrowser then put it in ~/.netrc , then run the script without comments...might work.

This is what I did:

sudo nano -w /usr/bin/winetricks

Search for: do_droid You should see this:

do_droid() {
    w_download ${DROID_URL}$1';hb=HEAD'   $3  $1
    w_try cp -f "$W_CACHE"/droid/$1 "$W_FONTSDIR_UNIX"
    w_register_font $1 "$2"
}
load_droid()
{
