I used instructions from here and from
here.
I used this version of wine and this version of cabextract, username puppy password linux.
I was running Puppy Linux 4.0 and using MSOffice Pro Edition, 2003.
I did this mostly to get MS Publisher to run in wine and it works almost seemlessly. The only one that I can't get to work is Excel (**Edit**: got it to work; see post on page two of thread) as it keeps giving me error messages and crashing. But with OpenOffice and KOffice and GOffice both Word and Excel are not really needed.
Here are the instructions:
Code: Select all
winecfg
Now install the richedit30 (download that to /root/.wine/drive_c)update, but first make sure you go to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 and rename richedit20.dll, richedit32.dll and msxml3.dll to *.bak or the updates wont work properly.
Code: Select all
cd /root/.wine/drive_c/
wine richedit30.exe
Download "msxml3.msi" from here. (Scroll down a little on that page and pick Download for msxml3.msi).
I download that to the /root/.wine/drive_c/ folder then in terminal cd to that directory then run this command.
Code: Select all
wine msiexec /i msxml3.msi
Code: Select all
winecfg
Select "msxml3", Click Edit, and set it to Native(Windows) as well
Click Apply, Click OK
Now install Microsoft Office 11 (2003) as you would on any other Windows OS, be it from CD, Shared Network, whatever. I did it from the CD and it worked fine.
In order to run anything I run the commands by cd'ing to the directory then running the program. I'm sure I can write a script using these commands then setting an icon for each of them on the desktop, but I haven't done that yet.
Code: Select all
cd /root/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/
cd Microsoft\ Office/
cd OFFICE11/
wine MSPUB.EXE
