So, i've been trying a few things to finally get office 2007 to work (activated, that is), but i was not successful. i wiped my current installation as well as removed ~/.wine/, and also upgraded to wine 1.1.17. however, no matter what guide i follow (this (http://www.quicktweaks.com/2008/04/09/install-ms-office-2007-in-linux/#more-5) or this one (http://wine-reviews.net/microsoft/office-2007-on-linux-with-wine-install-guide.html), or simply running the setup from clean wine installation), i fail to even install ms office 2007; setup crashes at 50% progress. i then removed wine 1.1.17 (as well as ~/.wine/) and installed wine 1.1.16 again. this time, installing office without any dll replacing. setup completes, and i set riched20.dll and usp10.dll to "native". ii can start word w/o problems. "winetricks allfonts" fixed the fonts problem mentioned earlier. but still, i can not activate the product. clicking the activation button on the word options page does nothing. i tried starting excel, but after excel loads an error message pops up stating "not enough memory (microsoft visual basic)", then excel freezes (i did run "winetricks msxml3 dotnet20 gdiplus vcrun2005sp1" after installation). so right now i have no clue of how to get ms office activated. any help would be appreciated. im running wine on ubuntu intrepid 32bit.
