I installed Office 2000 on FreeBSD 7 beta 2 again this morning :D the last time I installed Office 2000 on FreeBSD it was on FreeBSD 5.3 and with the aid of CrossOver registry files. This time around the registry files were not needed and everything went smoothly out of the box.

If you have a old copy of Office 2000 laying around and FreeBSD 7 why not get that last bit of use out of it.

This is with a clean configuration directory and running in a 1024x768 virtual desktop.

tom@tom:~$ winecfg
wine: creating configuration directory '/home/tom/.wine'...
fixme:midi:OSS_MidiInit Synthesizer supports MIDI in. Not yet supported.
wine: '/home/tom/.wine' created successfully.

Set a virtual desktop if you wish, this is also a good time to set your sound driver. The first thing we need to do is set the windows version that Wine emulates from win2k to win98.

After you have done this go to the "Libraries" tab and set the following dlls as native Windows.

This version came with a strange number (2.99.0) because it’s the last series before IEs4Linux 3. That version will have many new features. By now, IEs4Linux 2.99.0 have MANY improvements, bug fixes and some new features.

You can download ies4linux-2.99.0 here.

Change Log For CrossOver Games

10.3.0 CrossOver Games

• Fixes for Skyrim on Linux.
• Patch fixes for World of Warcraft.

10.2.1 CrossOver Games - December 7, 2011

• Fixes for Team Fortress 2 (stop it from displaying in black & white by default) and an update to the graphics card database (we can recognize newer graphics cards).

Just a couple of small updates, but getting in gear for a Wineskin 2.5 update and WS8 engines soon, so thought I'd get the Winery bugs fixed and pushed out.

• Downloaded Engines, and Engines you ignore will never prompt as new again
• If your downloaded engine is corrupted, Wineskin Winery will prompt you instead of trying to build and making a broken wrapper.

Have fun!

Wineskin Pro users can now easily play hundreds of Windows games on their Mac computers with the wrappers from PaulTheTall. The cost of Wineskin Pro 2.3 is $29.95 and comes with six months of upgrades and support.
