Wordperfect office 2000 wine and OLE2

phreaqy · 04-01-2004, 08:44 PM

I was able to install and run all of wordperfect office EXCEPT Wordperfect itself. When i run wordperfect it says that i have to register OLE2.reg. I have managed to get the OLE2.REG file and i have tried regedit (supplied by wine) to import it into the registry but i doesn't work. I have tried other programs to do it as well it that doesn't work
i have also tried in the shell

$ regedit OLE2.REG

it doesn't work either. I am at a loss.
I guess what i am asking is how do i register the OLE2.reg in wine?
Please Help!!

Have you ever thought of using OpenOffice.org or another Linux equivilent to M$ office?

Well Open Office is just as good and it is native so....

I have OpenOffice and I use it all the time. It is almost all that I need. However, I have wordperfect files that aren't read well by linux programs (such as abiword and koffice). Also my girlfriend is stuck on WordPerfect, which means that i have to reboot in Windows. But that, i guess, isn't my problem, I almost have it working I just need to register a registry file in wine

Wordperfect may be coming to Linux soon:

Did you by any chance get Wordpefect to work? I myself love WordPerfect, the wordprocessor.
