I have Wine running on my amd64 (Debian etch) with e.g. MS Internet Explorer fully working (not that I need it, but I needed some of the dll's and other things coming with it), so I assume that MS Office can also made working. -- Best regards / Mit den besten GrüssenSven Krahn -- Best regards / Mit den besten GrüssenSven Krahn

Sven, would you mind sharing the steps you took to get Wine working? If you have enough time, possibly including IE? With regards to MS Office: Back in my x86 days I had Office 2k working fine via Wine. So I guess you will be able to use it as well. Thanks a lot, Frank Am Freitag, 7.

Sure, no problem. While checking my installation I have to correct
myself - Wine runs in the ia32 chroot and not proprietary under amd64.
But once you have a chroot this does not really matter anymore.
1. Implement chroot as described in the amd64-HOWTO
2. Go into the chroot (dchroot -d)
3. as root: apt-get install cabextract (this is needed later on to handle Windows cab-files)
4. as root: apt-get install wine. I use etch/testing, and the wine is
version 20050628. This is one of the first versions not using the
config file anymore but a Windows registry - so be careful when
googling for more information that you really refer to the correct wine
version.
4. as user: Save your ~/.wine directory to a safe place (cp .wine
.wine.ORIG). This directory contains your WHOLE windows directory
structure, and I strongly recommed that you safe this directory before
any major installation attempt. If something fails with your software
installations you can easily restore your former configuration by just
restoring the .wine directory
5. Follow http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/ and download and run Sergio's script - this really did everything for me.
6. The script installs everything in .ies4linux. To have standard Debian again: mv .ies4linux .wine
7. cd ~/.wine/dosdevices
8. ln -s /tmp t: (you can choose any other valid temp directory but it
must be symlinked to t: - you can probably change this in the registry,
but I find the symlink much easier)
9. your dosdevices should now contain c:--../drive_c, t:--/tmp,
and z:--/ (alternatively, you may point z: to your homedir)
It may be necessary to copy some original Windows dll files into the
wine directory, I don't remember this exactly. Best is after any new
software installation that you study very carefully the output in the
wine console. It tells you which dll's are required, and you can simply
copy them from a 'real' Windows C:\windows\system32 to
~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system. Then restart your application and check
console output again.
Worth a try:
wineboot ('reboots' your wine-windows)
winecfg
regedit
notepad
This should give you a start. And remember: always save ~/.wine before installing or configuring anything new...
I have written this out of my mind, maybe I have forgotten something.
Feel free to send me an email if you have a problem somewhere or need a
more specific configuration advise.
