vcrun2005 is already part of Trados's installer. I don't need a winetrick for that.

I heard someone did with cabextract to extract the trados.msi and started it so.
It's however more complicated as an user to have to search for which of the 7 or 8 pieces installed by the installshield can be independently used from one another.
At least more for me than showing each of the windows and writing what to enter in which window.
Since SDL bought Trados, it's slowly but surely merging the functions of one into another. I guess the last trados to be independent from SDLX was 7.0 - won't be supported for long anyway since SDL announced they won't be supporting versions more than 3 years old and thus removed version 6.5 out of support.

To test the installer I don't need office. I will probably remove it at the moment. It's installing as it is at the moment anyway-
