Installing Office 2007 in Debian Linux
I found some problems in other (good) tutorials … but are a little bit old and then incorrect. A new one using debian testing:
- Install the wine packages:
apt-get install wine wine-bin wine-utils cabextract - Run
winecfgto set the configuration directory (~/.wine) - Now, we need the Microsoft XML Parser. To install it, the best is install the winetricks script. Get it at http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks
- Change the permissions of the winetricks script file:
chmod +x winetricks - Run the script and select the MS XML version 3:
./winetricks msxml3. The cabstract package was installed in the first step because winetricks needs it. - Insert the Office 2007 CD-ROM and mount it with the
unhideoption:mount -t iso9660 -o unhide /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom - Start the installer:
wine /media/cdrom/setup.exe
Enjoy it.
