Titel: Problems launching Word 2000 with Wine

HI all,

I was wondering if you could help me figure out why I am unable to launch word 2000 under wine 0.9.25-1 Office seems to have installed OK it is located in /usr/share/ and when I attempt to configure wine my C; drive comes up and everything. this is a linux only box. but when I try to launch winword.exe I get this error

Zitat:

Invoking /usr/lib/wine/wine.bin winword.exe ...
wine: could not load L"c:\\windows\\system32\\winword.exe": Module not found
Wine failed with return code 126

how can I fix this thank you

when I launch wine apps I have to be in the directory where the *.exe resides, or it doesn't launch. Have you tried that? You also might try over at Frank's Corner http://frankscorner.org/index.php?p=office2000 or wine app db http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=5124.

You know about OpenOffice.org, right?

I didn't know the grammar checker in word was any good. My wife (english teacher) often says it's just plain wrong and ruins perfectly good sentences. However, we were using office 97. Spellchecking is equivalent between apps.

I hope you can get it going.

You might try Crossover Office from http://www.codeweavers.com. Well, it is not an office suite, it's a Windows-API based on wine but with closed source as well. It works like wine, but far more sophisticated.

They have Betas out now for free, and they are mighty (have one here running). MS-Office runs very smoothly (at least Office 2000).

Usually a licence is 40 Dollars, but till now I lived with their betas and test versions, because I do not need Windows-programs all the time. But if I would need Windows apps all the time which just run under CxO, I would buy it.

It's a bit strange, but they financially support the wine team, so I am quite happy with their solutions.

This is pushing this thread a bit but I tried the Beta version of Crossover and it has been flawless in the 5 applications I've tried (only one of which is fully supported). Two which failed with Wine (with no fixes apparent) work well.

Do you understand how fonts work? There appear to be some .fon fonts loaded but someone sent me a document with the Kristen ITC font. I don't have this installed and it isn't in the Crossover list so how is it rendering correctly (I checked it on a font download site and it is correct)?

Is the beta going to stop in 60 days?
