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:

1. Install the wine packages: apt-get install wine wine-bin wine-utils cabextract
2. Run winecfg to set the configuration directory (~/.wine)
3. 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
4. Change the permissions of the winetricks script file: chmod +x winetricks
5. 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.
6. Insert the Office 2007 CD-ROM and mount it with the unhide option: mount -t iso9660 -o unhide /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom
7. Start the installer: wine /media/cdrom/setup.exe

Enjoy it.
