I have done a bit of research on WineHQ and other places, but cannot seem to get Office to install. I am running openSUSE 11.2 and from what I have read, Office should install and run without issue. I have a relatively fresh install, but had added the winetricks (with lots of errors and no success) and then afterward uninstalled wine and reinstalled. (I hope that makes sense) After installing Wine the first time, I could get to about 2/3 installed before wine crashed. Now after the reinstall It crashes almost immediately after the install process begins. Can anybody help me to get this to work?
Why not run XP in Virtual Box and it’s a walk in the park. I’m not sure Office 07 works in wine, earlier version do I think.
This is using Wine 1.1.28
This is the output I’m getting in Konsole at startup:
ryan@linux-ig3u:/media/MS Office 2007> wine Launcher.exe

It’s all greek to me but it appears something is not installed that the exe is looking for.
What exactly does Office have that you NEED!
It depends on how simple that is to use. If it is as simple as clicking an icon to open word/excell or whatever, then that may be an option. I haven’t found any good info on VB do you know of a good place to start?
Thanks
Thats what my professors want. Docx files and many use project, OneNote, etc. I know microsoft is evil and all, but they make some dang good office software.

Good to the point that they use Vendor Lockin and effectively shoot themselves in the foot:P
How is file management between the two?
I will read your links.
I also need VisualStudio2008 but am hoping to get smart enough to use something different. Maybe I can just run it all through VB.
Shared folders is easy. I have One folder setup in Linux dedicated to Virtual machines. it’s a bit clonky setting it up XP side.
But all the detail is in the VBman

If you give it a go and can’t figure it, let me know and I’ll walk you through it:)
We’ll give it a go and see if it works out. I’ve got to reinstall windows anyway (got that lovely XP antivirus 2010 scamware **** that won’t die). Hopefully my SUSE install won’t get fubar’d when windows reloads lol.
Wait. You know Virtual Box is a Virtual machine!!
You should know that if you re-install your real XP install it will bork grub. You can repair grub by following this
Re-Install Grub Quickly with Parted Magic - openSUSE Forums
Back to Virtual Box: XP is installed in Linux really. It creates a Virtual HD in the Linux disk space, I always allocated a fixed space, say 20GB.
And install takes place in this Virtual HD. It’s just like a real install and you can use it just the same. But it runs inside the Linux Host as a Guest.
Yes but I am a bit unclear on what that means… I am reading the manual now… I have used similar software in the past but never set it up before.
ISn’t a VM run by the host OS off of a functional partition? So you could run XP in linux or put it in grub and boot it by itself?
You need to read up on this. I’m crashing now. I’ll check back tomorrow. You are little mixed up:)
ok thanks for the help… I’ll do some reading
i know so little about wine, I’m actually trying to just get it work with konsole, with little luck
check out my wine post, maybe you can find something in there useful. I’m no wine expert
and vms, im not expert at that either, I’ve installed vms from an iso through a network, but that wasn’t my network so I couldn’t give them out
from what little I know vms you PAY for should run like a charm because they are EXPENSIVE. wine I know nothing about. ripped off vms I know nothing about.
that’s about all I’ve got… I tried:O
reading can help sometimes
come back here when your stuck, I always do, Ive made like 5 posts here about the same things sometimes, LOL
If you look back at the image I posted (seamless mode).That is XP running inside openSUSE.
Once you install Virtual Box. (Check my instructions)
Create a New Machine and HD
You then use your XP CD or a .iso of the CD to install XP into the Virtual HD. Of course it’s not a real HD, but a imaginary one, but it does occupy real HD space in your Linux install. (You can actually get it use any HD space that is mounted in your running Linux OS.)
Once it’s installed you just start the machine, you’ll want to install the Guest Additions once you get to the XP desktop, then shutdown and re-start. (That’s another tip, get in the habit of doing a shutdown not a reboot, it just works better)
