Thanks! Neither with the double quotes nor with the backslash winword.exe doesn't manage to start. So I turned back to Winetools. That's what I did: I connected to internet; then, from another console, I did $ wt , and chose 'Base setup', then "TrueType Arial": I got the message: 'The config file says the software you want to install is already installed. Continue?'. I chose 'yes', there was a downloading, after which I accepted the license, and the installation went up to the end; I found myself in the 'Base setup' menu again, and selected DCOM98; there was a downloading as well, after which I accepted the license, and the installation went up to the end; then I found myself in the 'Base setup' menu again, and selected the 'Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 (plain method)', and got the message: After the installation your system.reg will be replaced! You will loose all registry keys of installed programs (except for DCOM98)! This is a full automatic installation of almost all components. You can add additional components later by using the uninstaller. Continue anyway? I chose 'no'. Then I exited the 'Base setup' menu, went into the Main Menu and continue with "Install additional software" and choose "Microsoft Office 2000". I got the message: If you are asked for, select drive D: for installation. Never install Office-Tools/Office-Assistents. They might shredder your setup. I pressed 'o.k.' and got the message: If you downloaded the file by yourself (e.g. in a different language) you can use this one instead of the default. Do you want to use the default? I chose 'yes' and got the message: For this software you need a mounted CD. Shall I mount it for you? I chose 'yes', and got the error message: Mounting of the CD failed. You should do it manually. I pressed 'o.k', and after a few seconds got the message: It seems that the installation has failed. I pressed 'o.k.', and found myself in the Additional Software menu again. I exit WineTools. What now? Maybe it doesn't work with Wine 20041201? Or what wrong did I do?
