            Bug ID: 43045
           Summary: Mendeley plugin for MS Word 2010: error to any action
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux

          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

wine186_output_mendeley_word_plugin_20170517

This issue was already reported some years ago as bug 32315, but it was closed
without an actual fix.

To sum up: I can successfully install MS Office, Mendeley and the Mendeley Word
plugin, but if I click on "References" in Word, I get the following as a
"Microsoft Visual Basic" error:

Run-time error 429: ActiveX component can't create object.

Then, if I click on anything in the Mendeley Cite-O-Matic section, I get the
following as a "Mendeley Word Plugin Problem" (notice the different headers):

ActiveX component can't create object ( 429) in MendeleyPlugin. For more help,
visit http://support.mendeley.com

This essentially renders the complete Word plugin unusable.

I have experienced this error in Wine 1.8.6 as well as 2.8, while in bug 32315
the same error (although with slightly different wine output) was reported for
versions 1.7.x

I attach the wine output as well. (First two lines were output during clicking
"References", last three while clicking "Insert citation".)

Thank you in advance if you decide to look into this, currently this is the
only thing that keeps me from using Wine.

Config:
openSUSE 42.1
Wine 1.8.6 (with vcrun6, wsh57 and corefonts installed, version set to Windows
7) or Wine 2.8
MS Office 2010 (32bit)
Mendeley 1.17.9 (download here:
https://www.mendeley.com/download-mendeley-desktop/, install word plugin with
Tools/Install MS Word Plugin)
