What package exactly was that? Please supply more information if the
following doesn't work for you.
Using the latest CVS version of Wine, I managed to install the Dutch
version of Office 2000 on a fake_windows partition using the default
DllOverrides: "*" = "builtin, native, so".
When running the setup tool for Office, _don't_ install Internet
Explorer 5.0, but only the minimal component.
Also, the installer only worked when _not_ using Desktop mode.
Unfortunately, Office 2000 doesn't work flawlessly for me. I seem to
be unable to save documents in Word, for instance.
Hope this helps,
