[Wine] Microsoft Office 2007 and Wine only

First off before I delve into the purpose of this thread I want to lay down a
few ground rules.  This thread is only about MS OFFICE 2007 (OFFICE 12) and
Wine. No Exceptions!

To break it down further I don't want any information about the following
alternatives which I know work, but defeat the purpose.

No talk of:
Open Office (Ooo)
MS OFFICE 2000, XP or 2003
CrossOver Office
any emulators (EMUs) such as VirtualBox, VMWare, Qemu etc.
That aside the purpose of this thread is to combine the intelligent minds here
and even the new Wine users to get MS OFFICE 2007 (OFFICE12) installed on their
*nix machine.

There are 2 Methods for accomplishing this mission
Using the Installer to Install MS OFFICE 2007 in Wine
Copying OFFICE 12 from a Windows system, copy registry keys and play with dll
overrides to get the software to work in Wine

Apparently there are a few users who have definitely gotten OFFICE12 to work in
Wine; namely twickline of Wine Review (http://wine-review.blogspot.com/), but he
has neglected to post any information on how he did it even after several months
and asking nicely (http://www.wine-forum.org/showthread.php?t=178).  This thread
will not be a flame war against him or his website.  I think he puts out good
information, but I don't think we see eye to eye.  There are also some
videos out on Youtube.com

The point is that Wine in its current state is capable of getting OFFICE12 to
run.  I reinstalled Wine 0.9.58 yesterday and played with the dll overrides and
was able to get the installer all the way up to where it was to copy files, but
it didn't crash and didn't copy any files so I know I am close in that
regard.

So I hope that all the users will come together to get this application suite
working in either method.  I will post my data and overrides I am currently
employing.  Remember it's all about sharing information.

Why are you using dll overrides?  The installer works fine with a
clean wineprefix.

[Wine] Re: Microsoft Office 2007 and Wine only

yea you can do it with a clean winecfg, but files don't get installed.  The
Installer doesn't crash, but it repeats this
"fixme:xrender:X11DRV_AlphaBlend not a dibsection" in the terminal and
files don't install.

Already tried that, wine doesn't work with msvcr80.dll native... it crashes

Any fixes for this problem, I can't open any app now...

If outlook could work in wine I'd only have to boot the virtualbox once in a
great while.

I'd be interested in this as well. I currently use Crossover for Outlook
2003, but what exactly is it that's stopping it from working with regular
wine?

I've tried to replicate my crossover bottle with outlook installed in it, in
terms of applications installed, win version, and native dlls. However, I still
can't get it to launch. I assume some people have, as  this bug report
(http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8870) seems to require it to work in
wine for them to troubleshoot that (unless this is a crossover dev using
wine's bugzilla for crossover's product, since it's based on wine).

I would love to use an alternative to outlook, but none of the alternative's
available to me integrate with exchange the way I need for work. I tried
Evolution and that simply crashes when trying to connect to our exchange server
(exchange 2007 backend). I guess I can hope that the developer for that plugin
work's out the bugs with it.

Anyways, it would be great if someone had at least an explanation for what is
keeping it from working in wine in the first place. I tried to run some
different debug channels for the pop-up that comes up but I can't seem to
find anything useful.[/url]
