No idea, Dan. Am a newbie to Linux and there should be other people in
this group who could be able to answer your question better.
Anyway, am trying to evaluate which distro to go with, and one of my
needs was to be able to open my old wk4 files. With Mandriva and
Kubuntu I was not able to install Lotus 123 and later I found that my
installation of Lotus 123 on FC4 and SuSe was not stable enough, so I
moved my interest over to Excel, which has filter for wk4. Fedora and
SuSe installed fine, but I had to copy over a well functioning .wine
directory from FC4 to Mandriva and Kubuntu. Still could not run Excel
with Mandriva, exited after a few seconds, but this proceedure solved
the Kubuntu problem. I did run into permission problems with the copied
.wine direcotry, but this solved it:
chown -R krister:krister /home
The to get Excel not to get stuck on the Welcome splash screen I did this:
wine "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\OSA.EXE" -f
and than moved to an xls file, and after that I had no problems. Did
you try this?

Thanks,
The error is c: is somehow write protected. It is in fact not, however
wine sees it as write protected.
Do you know what would make wine believe c: is write protected?
Thanks - Dan

The system is FC4 with the latest upgrades installed. Wine is 0.9.5.
The latest wine is doing the best at running Office in a long time.
Word seems very stable. That said excel is hanging on the splash
screen. This in an old symptom that keeps re-occurring. DCOM is
installed correctly. Does anyone know what the cause of he splash
screen excel is?
Thanks - Dan
Had this problem and solved it by - instead of trying to start
excel.exe - opening and office document (xls-file in this case).
Therafter it never happened again. Excel works fine with FC4 bot not
at all with Mandriva 2006.
