Summary: Microsoft Word Viewer 2003: Cannot associate with *.doc
files
Product: Wine
Version: 0.9.58.
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: -unknown
AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
ReportedBy: bammzilla at gabriana.com
To reproduce:
1) Start with a clean .wine profile just to make sure (delete .wine and run
wineprefixcreate)
2) Install Microsoft Office Word Viewer 2003. Installation should succeed
without problems.
3) Create a shortcut in KMenu (in KDE) or Applications menu (in Gnome). The
command should look similar to this:
env WINEPREFIX="/home/bamm/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\OFFICE11\WORDVIEW.EXE"
depending, of course, on the installation path you selected, and label it
Microsoft Office Word Viewer 2003 (or whatever you please).
Note that this step may be unneccessary because Wine may have already created
this shortcut for you.
4) Associate *.doc files (application/msword) with the Microsoft Office Word
Viewer 2003.
5) Double click on a *.doc file. Word Viewer opens but the document does not
open.
==
Analysis:
It seems the wrong path to the document is sent to Word Viewer. To test this,
replace wordview.exe with a script that displays the full path name.
You can see this problem without actually associating *.doc files with the
viewer. In my desktop you can right-click on a *.doc file, select Open With,
choose Other, then browse to the shortcut you created in Step 3. The result is
the same; Word Viewer opens but the document is not loaded.
