I've installed Office 2007 and excel, word a ppt work ok. In Outlook I was able to get through the configuration process to set up a new mail account (yahoo) but once that finished, Outlook couldn't start. I get the message: Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window. My terminal output: alexander@alexander-lap:~$ wine /home/alexander/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Microsoft\ Office/Office12/OUTLOOK.EXE fixme:ole:CoInitializeSecurity (0x571118,-1,(nil),(nil),6,2,(nil),64,(nil)) - stub! err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {24e669e1-e90f-4595-a012-b0fd3ccc5c5a} not registered err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {24e669e1-e90f-4595-a012-b0fd3ccc5c5a} could be created for context 0x1 fixme:heap:HeapSetInformation 0x110000 1 (nil) 0 fixme:heap:HeapSetInformation 0x110000 1 (nil) 0 err:ole:CoCreateInstance apartment not initialised fixme:heap:HeapSetInformation 0x110000 1 (nil) 0 fixme:mscoree:GetRequestedRuntimeInfo ((null), L"v2.0.0", (null), 0x00000000, 0x00000051, (nil), 0x00000000, (nil), 0x32f52c, 0x0000001e, 0x32f524) stub fixme:mscoree:GetCORVersion (0x32f52c, 30, 0x32f524): semi-stub! fixme:heap:HeapSetInformation 0x110000 1 (nil) 0 fixme:heap:HeapSetInformation 0x110000 1 (nil) 0 fixme:advapi:RegisterTraceGuidsW 0x38ee62e8 0x442510 0x442518 14 0x442578 (null) (null) 0x442528 fixme:process:SetProcessShutdownParameters (00000180, 00000000): partial stub. fixme:loadperf:InstallPerfDllW ((null), L"C:\\prog~fbu\\micr~hfz\\office12\\1033\\outlperf.ini", 0) fixme:advapi:RegisterEventSourceA ((null),"Outlook"): stub fixme:advapi:RegisterEventSourceW (L"",L"Outlook"): stub fixme:advapi:RegisterEventSourceA ((null),"Outlook"): stub fixme:advapi:RegisterEventSourceW (L"",L"Outlook"): stub fixme:setupapi:SetupDiOpenDeviceInterfaceW 0x17a108 L"winealsa: default" 00000000 0x32e274 fixme:advapi:GetCurrentHwProfileW (0x32e1b8) err:animate:ANIMATE_WindowProc unknown msg 0410 wp=00000000 lp=00000000 fixme:advapi:CreatePrivateObjectSecurity (nil) (nil) 0x32f580 0 0x334 0x3917f380 - stub fixme:heap:HeapSetInformation 0x110000 1 (nil) 0 fixme:heap:HeapSetInformation 0x110000 1 (nil) 0 err:rpc:I_RpcGetBuffer no binding fixme:advapi:CreatePrivateObjectSecurity (nil) (nil) 0x32f5cc 0 0x60c 0x3917f380 - stub fixme:ole:CoSuspendClassObjects fixme:advapi:DeregisterEventSource (0xcafe4242) stub fixme:advapi:CheckTokenMembership ((nil) 0x173db0 0x32fd84) stub! fixme:advapi:CheckTokenMembership ((nil) 0x173db0 0x32fd84) stub! fixme:advapi:RegisterEventSourceW ((null),L"Microsoft Office 12 Sessions"): stub fixme:advapi:ReportEventW (0xcafe4242,0x0004,0x0000,0x00001b58,(nil),0x0006,0x00000000,0x32fce4,(nil)): stub fixme:advapi:DeregisterEventSource (0xcafe4242) stub fixme:advapi:DeregisterEventSource (0xcafe4242) stub
