Thanks Nikolay for your fast comments.

The click2run.msi can be started at Windows 7 systems manually. It will install
the  Microsoft Application Virtualization Client and the corresponding
environment.

Maybe the Office 2010 click2run version mentioned here is different than the
others. It was the last one compatible also to Windows XP SP3 and Windows
Server 2003. The following MS help article also mentions a full c2r package
installer for these old Windows systems.

Well, I was not able to find that package but in think it is the same like the
click2run.msi I have present in my OEMOffice14 folder. It looks also that the
Virtual client is App-V 4.x based while all newer click2run office releases
have App-V 5.x version. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_App-V)

This may be furthermore also the reason why Windows 8.x (and also Windows 10)
needs the c2r updates kb2598285 and kb2986257. Office Starter 2010 will not
work without them under theses newer Windows.

And finally, a specialty is also the requirement fo the separate and encrypted
virtual drive Q. Under Windows there exist no way to get into that drive. The
diskpart tool doesen't show it. Maybe Wine has currently not the necessary
"Windows services" implemented to emulate this. Or this will never work because
it is not fundamentally incompatible with Linux, -  whatever. ;-)
