    Hi. I followed your guide to get Office 2007 working. Word and Excel works fine but I can't get Powerpoint working. When I open Powerpoint, it shows the popup and then it crashes. The output in the command line is:

    fixme:hook:IsWinEventHookInstalled (32780)-stub!
    fixme:process:IsWow64Process (0xffffffff 0x347204) stub!
    fixme:mscoree:CorExitProcess (0) stub
    monshin ~ $

    I've to do some other stuff to get Powerpoint working or it 'should' just work?

    Thanks.

    mine just gets an error upon installing :/
    all it says is it encountered an error upon install Office 2007 Enterprise.

    Also, i couldn't enter my cd key upon install time, after the 3 digit, the continue button would grey out, so i had to try without entering a key, which is when the error occurs.

    Thanks for the great tutorial. I'm really glad that you continue to post very informative articles about the power of Linux. Keep up the awesome job. Don't listen to the haters out there who don't like Linux or are Apple fanboys. You have my support, and I'm sure there are thousands of other Linux users who enjoy your posts.

    Hello,

    "Also, i couldn't enter my cd key upon install time, after the 3 digit, the continue button would grey out, so i had to try without entering a key, which is when the error occurs."

    You could try installing richedit30.exe .. that should help.

    @twickline:

    I just read the goodbutbad site and am disappointed in their petty claims. I have been reading this blog since i switched to GNU/Linux and i have the utmost respect for how much you have done to help make wine such an amazing tool. I have been following the Office 2007 install closely and have been excited since you demo'd it a few months ago. I also appreciate that you waited to release it until you had a stable, repeatable process.

    Don't get weighed down by these few negative, jealous people and please know that for one of them there must be hundreds of us appreciative people.

    If anybody has come across a workaround to get Powerpoint working, could you post it up?

    Thanks again for all the help.

    Then He came back and deleted his post asking for help and posted his own original howto :D If you look at who posted there it was "a-s-h-o-k" :D

    I don't care if someone post a better howto after reading what I post! All I ask for was a link back to the original...

    As for PowerPoint, yea we think we have a work around for this, but it was "christoff" who found the work around so he is going to be the one to post a update with everything he has come across. Just give him a day or two to test everything and write it up....

    Oh, and about Linux being free and we should share our ideas... I never once have came across where a decent Linux user went around stealing other peoples ideas and then called them there own. I would only suspect that everything else on that blog came from someone else and was re branded as a original thought. This isn't how Linux got to where it is today!

    twickline, thanks a million. I got Word and Excel to work, and after medo's comment with winetricks, I got powerpoint to work as well. Maybe you should include his winetricks comment in your tutorial...

    So, all that's left is outlook, but that's not a major problem for me at the moment.

    It works, woo!

    I really appreciate your hard work. And your rather frequent postings here as well. Keep up the good work! =)

    And again, thanks so much to all the people working hard on wine.

    gnu/linux is not just an operating system, its a community, its a philosophy, its a way of life. maybe i sound a bit cheesy, but i do think this is true and important.

    twickline, this might just be me, but I did a little testing. I know you said there were bugs and I'm sure you're aware of this one, but I guess it never hurts to post.

    In Word,Powerpoint, doesn't really matter which program, when I try to insert a picture, it start to act really weird and gives me this error in the console:

    fixme:shell:SHGetFileInfoW SHGFI_OVERLAYINDEX unhandled
    fixme:shell:SHGetFileInfoW SHGFI_OVERLAYINDEX unhandled
    etc. Until I click cancel in office.

    Is this me? is this one of the big bugs? or is there a solution already?

    once again, thanks for the good work.

  23. ExonimusMarch 31, 2008 at 9:50 PM

    hmm, when you have that strange flickering menu when inserting a picture, just click the 'views' button(in that insert picture window) press any view. and it'll work. Strange...

    I can't seem to get any of the applications to work. I'm getting the following when running WINWORD.exe:

    fixme:actctx:parse_depend_manifests Could not find dependent assembly L"Microsoft.VC80.CRT"
    err:module:import_dll Library MSVCR80.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office12\\WINWORD.EXE") not found
    err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\Office12\\WINWORD.EXE" failed, status c0000135

    I've been searching for a solution everywhere. The runtime was installed by the Office installer, but for some reason it's not finding it. Perhaps it's not registered for some reason?

    I installed as "Vista" and regardless of the OS type I try (Vista, XP, etc.) they all yield the same result.

    Installing the Visual C++ 2005, 2005 SP1 and 2008 runtimes don't help either.

    Anyone got any ideas?

  35. DanielApril 8, 2008 at 11:10 AM

    I had a little problem with the CD Key input as well, but then I noticed that the problem was when I copied the key into the space. When I used ctrl+v to paste, the code got messed up and left out some of the characters.

    To get around this, I just entered the CD Key by hand and the next button "un-greyed" and I continued normally.

    Hope this helps!

    I've been trying to install Office 2007 using the provided guide for several days now. If I follow the exact same steps from the guide the installation doesn't even start. There is an error message that wants to send a report to Mircosoft... If in addition I install msi2 (using winetricks) I can run the setup and then I get to the file copying part and at that point it again crashes with an error.

    I tried installing msi3.1 but that didn't work out. It said that it can't find a disk to extract the files to. I unpacked the installation manually and put the .dll files from the package in the system32 folder. I also configured these as native libraries in winecfg. This time setup doesn't crash when copying files but doesn't do any progress either.

    I didn't see anyone else that complains about not even being able to install Office. So I am wondering if there is some particular problem with my system. I am running Ubuntu 7.10 on my laptop: 1.6Ghz AMD Turion, 2GB ram.

    What could be the problem? Anything else I might try?

    Any help appreciated.

    Hi jarjar, I managed to get a bit further. Try the following:

    1) Install the winbind package.
    2) Install Windows Installer 3.1. You can download this from the MS website. If you can't install using the exe file, you can use cabextract to unpack the file. Then you must copy the dll files and msiexec.exe to your system32 folder and set those files to native in wincfg.

    I did that and now I get to the file copying process. Office creates a folder of ~500MB "MSO Cache" but then goes into some sort of loop. This is the output before it starts looping:

    fixme:ole:NdrCorrelationInitialize (0x7df99754, 0x7df99354, 1024, 0x0): stub
    fixme:rpc:NdrStubCall2 new correlation description not implemented

    fixme:rpc:RpcImpersonateClient ((nil)): stub
    fixme:rpc:RpcRevertToSelf stub

    Register dump:

    After this there is the register dump and stack dump and finally this line just keeps on popping:

    fixme:xrender:X11DRV_AlphaBlend not a dibsection

    Any ideas, anyone ?!

    dimitar, you are not alone!!!

    I am facing the same issue... I too have an amd turion processor... I think that is likely part of our problem... The main difference between what you posted and what I experience is I get a dialog that says "cannot find Office.en-us/setup.xml"... It gives me a directory listing to choose where to install from... I have the install cd mounted to /media/cdrom0 and it has the missing file, but after I pick the directory setup exits and gives a microsoft "send error report" dialog... as much fun as it might be to spam microsoft with error reports, I don't think that will help us... I think there must be an issue with either the 64 bit version of wine, or the version of Office 2007... I have been trying with the Enterprise version of Office, and wonder if I might have more success with the professional version... Well I hope one of us or anyone else figures this out...

    P.S. I used to get that same line popping in an endless loop like what you are experiencing, but now i get that error report... (not sure why)

    Hi everyone,

    got it working after a few tries and additions to wine. One bump though - when I use Powerpoint 2007, objects don't redraw in real time. So when I want to, say, move something around, the object disappears after clicking on it and appears only upon releasing the button. The gray slim rectangle (width of the slide window, about 10px heigth) appears in the meantime. I played around with turning Compiz on / off, as well as different wine graphics setup - no luck.

    Anyone sees the same thing, or is it just me? Any guesses how to fix it, or what to test?

    Thank you!

    Has anyone tested to see if the drawing functionality in OneNote 2007 works? This is the only thing stoping me from converting my tablet to Linux.

    Not to be completely redundant here, but has anybody figured out the bullets and numbering problems?

    I constantly generate documents with lists and numbered sections. For me this is a big issue.

    Hope someone has figured it out. Thanks!

    Hey, Onenote 2007 does absolutely everything I've tested except the ink tool. I've been trying to figure it out without much luck. It doesn't like wine's ole/DCOM thingy.

    Most of the bugs in Onenote fix by making inkobj and gdiplus native, then putting them in the right places.

    On the plus side, I used Onenote in wine to view all my notes during exam season, and have taken a couple bio notes with it. I haven't used my dualboot in months now.

    Thanks for the guide. I have Office up and running but am having two issues. 1) The fonts in Word are all bold, all the time. 2) If I run a powerpoint presentation, I cannot advance to the next slide (animations on the current slide do work).

    I tried to upgrade wine, but the update manager gave me v. 1.0-RC1 and none of the programs would open (went back to 0.9.59).

    Any thoughts/suggestions?

    lemme start off by saying Twickline you kick @$$!
    way to go dude excellent work!

    in ubuntu gutsy gibbon running wine 0.9.58 office 2007 enterprise installs perfectly, the bullets work! yes! they do!
    i had msxml 3 installed net framework 2 also i beleive.. but however powerpoint didnt work
    now though in hardy heron fresh install. running 0.9.58 wine version (made for hardy--google search it or ask me for a link) (since the other versions dont work as good. (esp. the rev1, 0.9.61, and 0.9.59 (partially))
    the bullets do not work. but suprisingly powerpoint works no problemo! so does onenote.. even though it has that initial crash.
    i believe the bullets may have to do something with winetricks and their mstt core fonts stuff. i heard it caused problems in net framework for some reason. will investigate and see if it works now with the new winetricks revision.

    Thanks Billi_Shere,

    Let me say readers like yourself Kick @SS as well... Yea as it looks 0.9.60 and forwards cause problems, one would think a 1.0 release would be more stable.. but with each relase Office 2007 support gets WORSE! and this really sucks, big time.

  55. BilliMay 12, 2008 at 1:30 PM

    ok here we go. this is when running wine 0.9.58 in hardy heron. i fire up terminal and i type in winword. I have narrowed down that cause of no bullets appearing to two lines in my terminal.

    when i make a bullet, these lines pop up specifically.
    fixme:system:SystemParametersInfoW Unimplemented action: 4132 (SPI_GETDROPSHADOW)

    and then this:
    fixme:xrender:X11DRV_AlphaBlend not a dibsection

    dropshadows? X11drv? alphablend..this seems to be the problem.
    now i dont know much but this seems to be a xrender/driver issue maybe. i do have xrender installed in synaptic. disabling hardware rendering under the d3d subsection in wine configuration does not work.
    bullets work fine for me under gutsy even though i'm running the same 0.9.58 version of wine (i installed it in gutsy and hardy in the exact same manner twickline described above except for running the installer as under vista). I do not see these errors/lines when running winword from the terminal in gutsy. So i guess you gotta use gutsy to have a chance of geting bullets to work in word...

    btw if anybody is having problems with times new roman being displayed bold all the time. install allfonts (along with richedit20,30) using the newest release of winetricks. It fixed the problem for me flawlessly! :)

    my temporary fix for the bullets is to insert a symbol like this one: •
    it works perfectly fine and does show up (just dont tab it).

  56. BilliMay 13, 2008 at 6:23 AM

    YES YES YES THERE IS A FIX FOR THE BULLETS EVERYONE!!
    http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=4992

    thanks to andrew who figured this out:


    After looking around i saw how easy it was to make the bullets and numbering work in office 2007 word. click the office button, go into word options, then into language settings. All i had to do was remove all of them except for English, U.S. I left spanish in there too and it doesn't hurt. So if you're not in any need of these you can take them out and hopefully it will work for you. after you have removed them, close out of word and start it back up again. check your bullets. this is all it took for me, hopefully the same for you. if they are still not working, you could try going into the advanced menu and selecting "use normal style for bulleted or numbered lists".

    Thanks billi_sherre. That solves a lot of problems.

    I also downgraded to 0.9.58 and that seems to have made things more stable in general.

    Is anyone else having trouble advancing between slides in a powerpoint presentation?

    Also having problems advancing powerpoint slides...using Ubuntu 8.04 and Wine 0.9.59...Excel is buggy, font changes iffy, text boxes don't work, and moving charts causes screen to black during movement...I guess it's still a work-in-progress...

    For those with the error

    when installing, installing the winbind package seemed to help out. In Ubuntu:

    After following these instructions on Hardy Heron (64 bit) (modified to only install OneNote 2007), the install works fine. However, I receive an error whenever I try to create a notebook (or do anything for that matter) saying that Windows encountered an error and needs to be shutdown.

    @ Anon... having problems with OneNote 2007

    Try medo's suggestion:

    wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
    sh winetricks riched20 riched30

    This worked for me, I can actually run Onenote, but can't use inking tool.
