wine users - Apr 2001 - Any success with wine 20010418 and MS Office Viewers?

Microsoft has free viewers for MS Word and Excel file formats.
Has anyone had any success with these and Wine 20010418?

I had some success (could install at least) with the Win16
word viewer, but now I couldn't even install any of them.
Wine just locks up.

If anyone wants to try it out, I have the 16- and 32-bit
version of the Word viewer + the 32-bit Excel viewer here:

(Yes, it's legal to redistribute them, actually MS wants
 you to.)

Yes, one of my test apps for Wine is the Word 97 viewer.
It does not run well at all but it can load word 97 files.
