[Bug 45208] Microsoft Office 2010 installer crashes at around 50 % mark

[WineHQ Bugzilla]

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45208

--- Comment #36 from Andreas Christ <andreas.christ at runbox.com> ---
Just managed to install office as suggested by Serge using the following
command  (after preparing the prefix as explained in the AppDb):

WINEPREFIX=/home/christ/.local/share/wineprefixes/MS_Office_2010 WINEARCH=win32
wine /media/christ/OFFICE14/setup.exe & sleep 3 && cpulimit -l 10 -p $(pgrep -i
setup.exe)

I took the command from here:

https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=34941

So the problem may also affect the Office 2016 installer.
