wine users - Jan 2007 - Installing Word Viewer 2003

I've downloader Word Viewer 2003 from the MS website. When I run it,
it pops up a dialog box stating that I need a newer Windows version. I
googled "newer windows version wine" and I've found this:
http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=1122&action=view

But I have not idea what to do with it. What must I do to get
wdviewer.exe installed? I'm using wine-0.9.28 on Kubuntu. Thanks.

It's a patch to the code.

Man patch is your friend. 

Save the chunk from the 'diff' down until the final bracket under a name
like wine-newer-version.patch and copy it to the same directory as your
wine source top dir. 

cd into the source top dir (so 'ls ..' shows you
wine-newer-version.patch) and ls dlls/advapi32/security.c shows you the
file.

enter the following line

patch -p0 < ../wine-newer-version.patch

make clean, and compile and install. You will have added whatever
functionality that patch provides.
