--- Comment #35 from Linux User #330250 <linuxuser330250 at gmx.net> ---
I just installed Microsoft Office 2003 Professional (german, if that matters),
System Builder (OEM, was sold separately in Europe, X11-45338) and it worked
with the work-around suggested in Comment 18, for me:

$ WINEARCH="win32" WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine/Microsoft Office 2003" wine-staging
"msiexec" /i "C:\\INST\\pro11n.msi"

(I copied the contents of the CD-ROM to $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/INST beforehand...)

I could then also apply Service Pack 3 (german), i.e. this one:

$ sha256sum Office2003SP3-KB923618-FullFile-DEU.exe
6768d79446f64970d68469341fe79ddd96b751ba22ffefba9652cdf6aa19c80b 
Office2003SP3-KB923618-FullFile-DEU.exe

Word, PowerPoint and Outllok run flawlessly AFAICS, but Excel has an issue with
a plugin. I disabled it (as suggestes by Excel) and then it ran.

Activation over the Internet worked (I had startet WINWORD.EXE first, so this
is when it was activated).

I used
WINEARCH="win32" WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine/Microsoft Office 2003" wine-staging
"C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\OFFICE11\\WINWORD.EXE"
on Gentoo to run Word 2003 and the other .EXEs respectively.

wine-staging is 3.7, Gentoo USE="X alsa capi cups custom-cflags fontconfig
gecko gphoto2 gssapi jpeg kerberos lcms ldap mono mp3 ncurses nls openal opencl
opengl osmesa pcap perl png pulseaudio realtime run-exes s3tc sdl ssl (staging)
themes threads truetype udev udisks v4l vaapi vulkan xcomposite xml -dos -gsm
-gstreamer -netapi -odbc -oss -pipelight -prelink -samba -scanner (-selinux)
{-test} -xinerama" ABI_X86="32 64 (-x32)"

I could also install FileFormatConverters.exe (sha256sum:
31d0a693952474472887896d85f2ce55746b0c48f7bc6fae80386fc31ca0c290) and
compatibilitypacksp3-kb2526297-fullfile-de-de.exe (sha356sum:
2142391adf38b12611a7e41d6a3cb9c3c5500ac5139b5380a302808d0b474d5c), but I don't
know how I could install the other updates that came in .cab files, like
excel_6b6c723f3a4be24058b0b8e73f671f5cbd1854bb.cab and so on...

I have a collection of those fixes from a WSUS Offline Update .iso I made a few
years back, but I couldn't directly run UpdateInstaller.exe in Wine, because it
quit right after opening the command prompt (cmd.exe). Maybe a script issue
from wsusofflineupdate as it wasn't designed to run in Wine... OR I need to set
the USE="dos" feature for wine-staging in Gentoo???
