I installed MSWord 2000 with Wine1.2 several weeks ago with no problem; now something has been "upgraded" in Ubuntu so that I cannot install MSWord 2000 anymore on another computer; I get an error message about a security bit being "set". I also tried Wine1.3 Beta, with similar results. Is there any work-around for this? Thank you, krt

[Wine] Re: Updated Ubuntu 10.04 will not accept Wine MSWord2000
Search the Ubuntu forum. It's a known problem.
Thank you. That was an excellent suggestion. The conclusion of the thread on page 2 worked perfectly: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1500627&highlight=wine+security+bit&page=2 . Odd that I did not have this problem several months ago when I did it on another computer, but this thread above resolved the problem, and I thank you. krt
