wine users - Apr 2008 - How do i issue "msiexec /i msxml3.msi" in the terminal...

I found a way to install MS Office 2007 on ubuntu but the thing is i need to run
something in the terminal. (Install msxml3.msi file from the Terminal window by
issuing msiexec /i msxml3.msi)

I downloaded the msxml3.msi file and saved it to my desktop.

Now when i just put in "msiexec /i msxml3.msi" it gives me the
following error (in the terminal):

gogga at gogga-laptop:~$ msiexec /i msxml3.msi
err:msi:copy_package_to_temp failed to copy package L"msxml3.msi"
fixme:msi:MSI_OpenDatabaseW open failed r = 80030002!

I would like to know how to do it. I got this help from this site:
http://www.quicktweaks.com/2008/04/09/install-ms-office-2007-in-linux/#more-5
See step 10....
I did watch the video aswell but halfway trough the video.... you'll see.

That guy is SO clever.

</sarcasm>

Seriously, he says Install WINE. WINE what? 0.1? 0.9? 0.10?
0.9374372382 ? he doesn't specify any version or more details,
troubleshooting tips or anything. I'd say try contacting him and ask
him what WINE version did he use, or whatever he did to extract the
.msi file.

Good luck.
