Third party scripts (e.g., > wine-doors, playonlinux, bordeaux) are not support here. Just my own script that the comment is in and you've quoted above - I just found it helps to document things for others and speed a repetitive job > > What version of Wine are you using?

I'll try this re your comments Bug 11415 and James' comments, comments: cd "/media/Office 2003 Pro/OFFICE";\ # Set your preferences WINEPREFIX=~/.MSOffice winecfg;\ # Click through the dialogues WINEPREFIX=~/.MSOffice winetricks vb6run riched20 dcom98 gecko;\ touch ~/.MSOffice/drive_c/windows/system32/stdole2.tlb;\ # Enter Pass-Key WINEPREFIX=~/.MSOffice wine SETUP.EXE;\ done ? If touch ~/.MSOffice/drive_c/windows/system32/stdole2.tlb isn't sufficient, where can I find a real one? Thanks. -- Getting errors: "There are problems with the signature" (or similar)?
