Hi all. I've *never* been able to install Office XP. I've had it running in CrossOver ( demo ), but my work is too stingy to pay for that, and yet I still want to install Office. At the moment my VirtualBox installation is becoming flaky. I've updated a fresh Ubuntu-8.04 installation to wine-1.0-rc1. I've then followed the instructions for installing on Gentoo ( install IE6 via ies4linux, etc, etc ), part-way down the page at: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3514 When I follow these, I get told that I need to perform some 'system updates' ( or something like that ). I install the updates, go to install Office, and get told that the system updates weren't applied properly. I get 2 options: repair or exit. Repair goes through the same process without repairing properly, and leads me back to the same point again ( requiring a 'repair' of system components ). Exit exits. I did the above a couple of times ( deleting .wine and .ies4linux each time ). I then tried without any of the 'tricks' and installed into a fresh setup. This way, I could select what features to install, but just before the installer started copying files, it crashed out ( http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5163 ). -- Daniel Kasak IT Developer NUS Consulting Group Level 5, 77 Pacific Highway North Sydney, NSW, Australia 2060 T: (+61) 2 9922-7676 / F: (+61) 2 9922 7989 email: dkasak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx website: http://www.nusconsulting.com.au
