NOTE:I finally managed to recover a part of this article, which went lost during the b2evo-wordpress migration. John Mohegan Jazz Improvisation Pdf Files. Luckly I managed to recover it thanks to someone who pasted it here: didn’t gave me the credit, but in the end I was able to recover it, so thanks! If you find this HOWTO useful, please at least cite the source. Since them, I stopped using Office 2003 and resorted to Openoffice since I don’t need to use Macros anymore. But I have seen a certain interest in this article, so I will pubblish it here again.

As far I understand, you can run Word as user Administrator, but when trying to run it from another different account (user300246 for instance) you get errors. In fact seems absolutely normal, let me explain. You installed it as 'Administrator' user, so the files has the correct (read/write) permissions for that. I'm trying to install Office 2016 (business subscription) using the Office Deployment Tool 2016 (ODT) from a pre-downloaded install package. Microsoft Support have.

An important resource for Wine users: and also This is a quick and dirty HOWTO to install Microsoft Office 2003 under Wine. The system used is Ubuntu Feisty 7.04 x64. On other system your mileage may vary. Pre-steps: Install wine. If you are going to do that on Ubuntu, please note that x64 packages are, at the time I’m writing, only available on Feisty. There’s plenty of HOWTO on installing Wine, so I won’t cover it here. I suggest you to try Wine with a program that is known to run and install.

I used SwitcherCad III and everything runs perfect. When your Wine is running fine, you then need your Office 2003 disc. Mount it with the option -o unhide. This will avoid having problems with hidden files during installation. Mount -t iso9660 -o unhide /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom There you are, you have your installation files under /mnt/cdrom.

A further step is now required to run the installation, or your installation will end saying “Installation source has been corrupted”. This has to do with missing XML parser and Internet explorer. We are going to go around that one by installing the XML parser and telling WINE to use the native Msxml3.dll instead of the built-in one.. Install Microsoft XML Parser (MSXML) Download it and move toward the downloaded file, then run: msiexec /i msxml3.msi if you have installed Wine correctly, you should have msiexec available. Complete the installation, then launch::~/Desktop$winecfg now you should have a wine windows. Now select Libraries–>Choose msxml3 from New Override for library and then Add.

The select the added library and choose Edit. Select Native, then builtin, the “OK”. Installation Now it’s time to start the Office installation. Move to the mounted cdrom::~/Desktop$cd /mnt/cdrom and run:~/Desktop$wine Setup.exe From now on, it doesn’t differ that much from a tipical Office installation. [Update] There’s may be some issue with Visual Basic macro.

I did not have the time to check properly, but not everything did work correctly. Google was’t helpful today, so I’ll try when I’ll have some time. TO DO: It can be interesting to try to take an original Msxml3.dll from a Windows system and register it in Wine, then saying to use the native one instead of the built-in one.

This could save the XML parser installation. I didn’t try, someone will?

Some information can be found at the step “Reregister the Msxml3.dll file”. Credits: Frank from for the original Office HOWTO and the. Tested on: Wine 0.9.40~winehq0~ubuntu~7.04-1 Microsoft XML Parser (MSXML) 3.0 Service Pack 7 (SP7) (italian) on Ubuntu Feisty 7.04.
