I am attempting to install MS Office 2000 on a Fedora 3 system with the
latest 12/1/2004 wine
built from source.
I was getting multiple errors followed by the wine debugger aborting.
Based on information from the user group I have installed dcom98.exe
( by downloading dcom98.exe and running wine dcom98.exe )
This appeared to work , but produced a warning message ( newer version of
dcom already installed)
This did not seem to have any effect on the MS Office install.
Then I went to Frank's corner and found a reference to installing MSI
I downloaded InstMsiA.exe and installed it by typing
wine InstMsiA.exe.
Next I entered wine MSSETUP.EXE
to start the Office install
The MSOffice installer then started with a number of warning messages.
I was able to select the custom install office and the installation appeared
to start.
A dialog message appeared indicating that Office was configuring my system.
The dialog box appeared to freeze with about 5 percent completion.
Inspection of the system monitor showed that CPU useage was 100 percent.
No additional errors or warnings were displayed and the progress bar did not
advance.
