I am trying to install Office 2000 (specifically Access, I don't care
about the other programs), so I'll jump in with this thread, if that's
OK.

I'm running wine 0.9.15. I ran wineprefixcreate, then ran the Office
2K setup - it said the installation was completed successfully. I
tried to run Access, and it said it needed IE. I added the registry
entries from above, and Access opened fine (thanks a lot for that
tip!).

Now, however, Access gives me more error messages. It says "The
Dynamic Link Library mswstr10.dll could not be located." if I try to
create a new database, and gives the same error message for
msjet40.dll if I try to open an existing database.

I googled a bit, and found that for Windows users, it was suggested to
install Jet 4.0 Service Pack 8, so I tried that. The error messages
are still the same, though.

I searched my .wine folder, and neither file seems to even be there.
Should I download those two dll's manually? If so, where do they go?
Are there going to be a lot more dll's that weren't installed with
office that access needs?

Thanks a lot for any help you can give.
