Wine can't open any office programs...
I just installed Microsoft Office 2007 without a hitch. The programs show up in my Appications>Wine>Programs. But whenever I try to launch them, it acts like something is loading (pointer turns to circular wheel), but then stops and nothing loads. The same thing happens if I click on the executables in my Wine folder (the same thing for all the Office programs). I ran it in the terminal and got this output:
aj@aj-laptop:~$ env WINEPREFIX="/home/aj/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\WINWORD.EXE" fixme:heap:HeapSetInformation (nil) 1 (nil) 0 fixme:advapi:RegisterEventSourceW ((null),L"Bonjour Service"): stub fixme:winsock:WS_setsockopt Unknown IPPROTO_IP optname 0x00000013 fixme:winsock:WSAIoctl SIO_GET_EXTENSION_FUNCTION_POINTER {f689d7c8-6f1f-436b-8a53-e54fe351c322}: stub fixme:winsock:WSAIoctl -> SIO_ADDRESS_LIST_CHANGE request: stub fixme:actctx:parse_depend_manifests Could not find dependent assembly L"Microsoft.VC80.CRT" err:module:import_dll Library MSVCR80.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office12\\WINWORD.EXE") not found err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office12\\WINWORD.EXE" failed, status c0000135 I see a lot of "fixme" but don't know what most of it means since I'm a pretty big Linux newb. I'm guessing I'm missin gsome of those .dll files, but where I could I get them? Thanks in advance for the help. |
The missing MSVCR80.dll appears to be your problem (not necessarily the only problem). On a regular Windows system you would have it available, with wine will need to copy it from somewhere. Based on a Google search this is a common problem, not only with MSOffice, but with other applications as well.
Have a look at http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibi...=6356;msg=6044 and sort out what makes sense in your case. linux |
Okay, I found the solution. You have to do:
wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks to get winetricks. Then sh winetricks msxml3 dotnet20 gdiplus riched20 riched30 vcrun2005sp1 which I got off of http://samanathon.com/how-to-install...in-ubuntu-804/. Anyway, now I can open all the office programs perfectly (even faster than Vista did, which I found to be sort of odd). Anyway, thanks for your help. That one website actually led to the answer that I found. |
