The installation starts normally, but gives an error in the middle and does not complete installation, this is the error that shows the end of the terminal:

Once an Office 2010 install has failed for a given wineprefix, it will always fail. You need to delete the wineprefix and start fresh. The machine.config file cannot be copied from another machine--it is specific to the system. You need to either copy it from a Mono install on your system, or a .NET install to another wineprefix on the same system. You can also simply install .NET 2.0 to the wineprefix you are going to install Office to, but be aware that that will install a lot of other things as well, and if they cause problems, you are on your own.
