wine users - Nov 2010 - Problem installing MSOffice2003 in wine in Ubuntu10.04

Hi
I cannot get MS Office to install & work for me in Wine.
I use Ubuntu10.04 & latest Wine 1.3.8
I put my Office2003 disc in drive & run wine setup.exe from terminal 
& it goes through install stages but gives an error message setup cannot
complete> rerun setup.
There is a link from Applications>Wine>Programs>MSOffice>Word
& when I click this Word opens but says not setup for this user please run
setup.

I have also tried to install MSOffice2003 in PlayonLinux but this gives an error
message on setup too!
I have been trying to install this now over the last 2 days & do not know
what else I can do.
I look forward to helpful replies,many thanks

Are you sure you have 1.3.8? What does wine --version say? There were
regressions in 1.3.5 through 1.3.7, but it should be working now. (Works fine
for me.)

What edition (Pro, Standard, etc.) of Office 2003 do you have, and what
language?  There have been bugs in the past that affected only non-English
versions.

Delete ~/.wine, run the installer from a terminal, and post whatever messages
appear.

Not supported here; this forum is for plain Wine.

Looks like a regression.  Can you report this and run a regression 
test?  http://wiki.winehq.org/RegressionTesting tells how.
