winetricks/Office2010 under Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Hello,
I downloaded wine and the packages for Office2010 and went to the directory of Installer(by terminal) in Office2010 and executed /home/mohammed/.wineprefixes/office2010/drive_c/windows/wine Setup.exe and I got this message : mohammed@mohammed-Inspiron-5537:~/Installer$ wine Setup.exefixme:heap:HeapSetInformation (nil) 1 (nil) 0 fixme:process:SetProcessDEPPolicy (1): stub fixme:heap:HeapSetInformation (nil) 1 (nil) 0 fixme:process:SetProcessShutdownParameters (00000380, 00000000): partial stub. fixme:ntdll:find_reg_tz_info Can’t find matching timezone information in the registry for bias 0, std (d/m/y): 26/10/2014, dlt (d/m/y): 29/07/2014 wine: cannot find L”C:\\windows\\system32\\Setup.exe” Can you help me? |

http://www.allquests.com/question/24...-setupexe.html http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=9523 The MS Office Suite *CAN* work under Wine, but the better question is "Why?" Libreoffice runs natively on Linux, and can read/write Office documents just fine. |
any help (command line) would be highly appreciated, sending me back to other websites which I already visited is a kind of nonesense here! thank you for your time.

And AGAIN, WHY are you using an old version of MS Office under Wine, when you can use Libreoffice for free, natively under Linux??? |
Hi. I just searched PlayOnLinux (a front for WINE click thumbnail) for ya, although I also prefer (as in freedom) free alternatives. If they twist my arm enough I use VirtualBox (maybe once a year.) Best wishes and have fun. :)

http://www.noob2geek.com/linux/how-t.../#comment-3669 http://forum.winehq.org/viewforum.php?f=8 I posted in those links Mr TBOne and I've got no answer yet, that's why I came to this forum wondering if I could get any answer! As per the word "nonesense" I appologize but It was not my intention tu "hurt" anyone. for the question of using LibreOffice under Ubuntu12.04LTS : I am using it, but it has some errors regarding the format of cells (each time when I save my file which an .xlsx file and I open it I find that the format has changed and I nead to keep this format because I am sending it to people at work) so that's why I wanted to use MsOffice under Ubuntu. P.S: I am a new migrating user from Microsoft to Linux (I have basics on Unix and It was a long time I didn't work with it) so all my work was saved in MSOffice formats + I interact with people in work who have MsOffice under windows system => so you might understand now why I want to use msOffice under Ubuntu (2 reasons : I came to a stage of hating Windows system and Its crashes all the time, and I am very passionate to work with Linux systems instead) |
You may need to install some plugins or update and search for Libreoffice "how to"...

But again...you are using office 2010..which is still OLD. If your co-workers are using it too, and you've got the latest Libreoffice, that's probably where your problems are coming from. Instead of XLSX, have you tried just xls? Or better, why don't you get your co-workers to ALSO use Libreoffice, since it's totally free, and runs on Windows too? Since they're using old software now, they could update for free. |
this is an excel spread sheet
? right ? and you are using Microsoft Visual Basic macros and Microsoft ONLY formatting in the cells that might never work well in wine install XP sp3 or vista and use MS office 2010 on that but most of the formatting issues can be solved by installing the MICROSOFT Truetype fonts on Ubuntu ( if not already installed ) http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/ |
I love that last part TB0ne. :D
Although if you have the software it can be fun to pwn microcoughed so if WINE is still a must (which it's not) I've also had much progress using Q4WINE and directing it to the WINE versions PlayOnLinux installs in (home\~) ~/.PlayOnLinux/wine ... or as John VV said in VirtualBox. |
TBOne :either you know exactly how to solve this kind of problems oryou don't! there is no middle option for that and there is no shame of not knowing how to fix something: I am a beginner in Linux, and for now I am trying to solve an issue which I described before, how to add plugins and which plugins are we talking about? this is another issue! I am used to Ms Office in which I found lot of advantages compared to LibreOffice, maybe this opinion will change in the future, but now this is what I need : the solution to my error message! do you know how to fix it? unless, the solution to ask everyone in my office so they migrate to libreOffice is not practical and very difficult to implement!
"And we have NO IDEA what other forums you post in, under what names, or what advice you received. We only know what you POST HERE..." : this is not your problem, I answered you by giving you the links to some forums I posted my problem in without getting an answer and you can check by yourself, that's why I looked for another forum which is this one by the way. |

the thing is WE DO KNOW how to solve it use MS office on a Microsoft OS Quote:
you are familiar with using "regedit.exe" on windows ? right ? also the "long term support" version of ubuntu 12 has a VERY OLD!!! version of wine you might NEED to use the MOST current version of wine but i would use MS office 2010 on windows xp sp3 or Vista or win 7 ALSO if you NEED to use wine ms office takes up about 40 GIG!!!!!!! of drive space and wine uses your HOME folder do you have more than 40 gig of free space in your HOME folder |

Yes, I do know how...and handed you two links that told you how to fix it. Not sure what else you need. Quote:
