[Wine] Re: Error when openning MS Office files (*.doc, *.xls, *.ppt)

[chris_pi]

Hello, 
Six month later, I found a solution (in french): [1]
And the source of this blog (in english): [2]

This solution is for *.exe files, but it works also for *.doc, *.xls, etc. files.

It is wery easy. Edit the default launch command for wine

Code:
gksu gedit /usr/share/applications/wine.desktop

Change from

Code:
Exec=cautious-launcher %f wine start /unix

onto

Code:
Exec=wine start /unix %f

I hope this will help sombody.
