Everyone: I downloaded and installed wine-20011108 from source. I am running slackware 8.0 with kernel 2.4.5. I tried installing office 2000 from the CD and captured the resulting error messages. Basically, the setup.exe is complaining about the lack of a "windows installer." Does anyone know any way around this? I recall some trick involving internet explorer being discussed the last time I tried this (over a year ago). I used the script command to capture the output of the wine command I used. I have attached that output along with my config file. The config file is the default one from wine-20011108 with the [Drive X] sections altered and nothing else. I followed the instructions in the user's manual in the section "Installing Wine Without Windows." BTW, *great* job on the html docs, guys. They are VERY helpful, well written and organized. Beautiful job. I also got a dialog box from setup.exe with the following message in it (I typed it into the post by hand): "Installing this product required the Windows Installer. An error occurred when installing or upgrading the Windows installer." Chris Marshall Here's the output of the wine command: Script started on Tue Nov 27 09:58:55 2001 chris@chrism1:~/wine$ wine --winver win98 "d:\\setup.exe" Building font metrics.
