[Wine] Re: Wine 0.9.57 - Cannot Install/Use Office 2000 Premium

[ChasF]

I've carried on working on the problems but I still can't get any application to run.

Further tests performed
(a) I have tested Access under Windows 2000 SP4 on the same machine (it can boot OpenSUSE, FreeDOS and Windows 2000). Using some very good (and free!) monitoring tools, I have screen-shots of the dll's which are loaded  at the point when the error occurs on Linux.
(b) I have run winecfg and removed the drive letters which point to the Windows 2000 disk drives. (There is a Microsoft KB article about problems when more than one copy of Office 2000 is found and you get exactly this problem - see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321346/en-us.) This hasn't solved the problem.
(c) Comctl32 and Comdlg32 must not have overrides set - the built-in versions must  be used. If you use the Windows 2000 dll's you get more errors.
(d) The message err:rebar:REBAR_WindowProc unknown msg 2002 wp=00000000 lp=0033ebb8 always appears shortly before things go wrong. I have no idea what this means.
(e) Following on from (d), the next steps for thread 0009 are:
- Load VBE6.DLL
- Load VBE6INTL.DLL
- 7 calls of fixme:ole:GetHGlobalFromILockBytes cbSize is xxxx
- fixme:storage:StorageImpl_Commit (0x150698 0): stub
- fixme:advapi:LookupAccountNameW (null) L"fuller" (nil) 0x33f4c4 (nil) 0x33f4c8 0x33f4bc - stub
- fixme:advapi:LookupAccountNameW (null) L"fuller" 0x72e02c8 0x33f4c4 0x72e0670 0x33f4c8 0x33f4bc - stub
- fixme:advapi:LookupAccountNameW (null) L"fuller" (nil) 0x33f46c (nil) 0x33f470 0x33f464 - stub
- fixme:advapi:LookupAccountNameW (null) L"fuller" 0x72ffb68 0x33f46c 0x72fff10 0x33f470 0x33f464 - stub
This is where it's gone wrong because this/these registry calls should have returned exactly one set of results..
(f) Following on from (e), a trace of WINWORD.EXE shows similar behaviour with the registry reads.
