Hello,

I am trying to run some office applications without an installation of windows on my machine and decided to try wine.

I am using the Debian unstable (sid) and have just installed wine using apt-get. I also installed the winesetuptk,. All seems to be fine with the wine installation (although I have almost no experience with it) but when I try to install MS office 2000 (starting with IE5 and Word only) I get through the initial dialog of the installer where I put the product key and select the components to install, but when the installation begins, it generates and error dialog box (Internal Error 2761: Please contact product support for assistance) and then exits the installation.

One thing I have not been able to do is find the fonts you listed in your instructions on my CD at all (it is Office 2000). I tried mounting it with the unhide options you recommended, and still was not able to find it. Could this be causing my problem?

I have tried checking some documentation and instructions, and have a couple of specific questions.

1) Somewhere it was suggested I needed to install a font from the office CD independent of the office installation. (Tahoma, I believe). However I do not have that font on my Office 2000 cd. (I tried mounting it with unhide option and still couldn't see it). Could this be a problem.

2) The documentation is somewhat contradictory about running wine as root. I would like to avoid doing this if possible. Is there a configuration that will allow it to be run as a normal user?

3) It appears that some of the error messages have to do with permission's (the winspool.drv file IS located in /fake_windows/Windows/System directory, and that is on the path in my config file). This leads to the above question.

4) I would prefer to use the Debian packaged wine, because I can apt-get it and maintain it under the packaging system, rather than a commercial product. I have looked at the code weavers web site, and their product looks great, and I may end up with that, but would like to explore the possibilities with the Debian Package first.

If you have any suggestions, I would appreciate hearing them. The machine I am working on is linux only (not dual boot), and AMD processor (700 MHz).

Following is some output from the installation process:

Here is some installation information, followed by the tail end of the installation attempt messages.
