Selected Test Results (selected in 'Test Results' table below)
What works
Default Installation, Product Key, INTERNET ACTIVATION!
Phone activation worked a long time ago.
What does not
Service packs, still, probably due to "unhandled context 4" and resulting unhandling of MSOCache.
What was not tested
Custom install (tried with older versions - It worked)
Service pack not tested in .msp in updates/ way in this version.
Additional Comments
Internet activation is something I didn't expect to work, mshtml development related?
MSO Home and Student 2007 Polish Box with cd key, clean updates/ directory.
In current Wine, simply install as you would in Windows: insert the cd, and run setup.exe. No overrides are needed to install in Wine 1.1.3 or later.
Known bad versions (do not try to install):
1.1.17 through 1.1.23
all versions prior to 1.1.3 (see below)
If using a version of Wine older than 1.1.3 (yes, this includes 1.0.1), it is strongly recommended that you upgrade to the current development release. If you are unwilling or unable to do that, these howtos may be helpful, but follow them at your own risk, as they call for overrides that may or may not work, and may cause problems with other apps:
Questions about either of these howtos should be directed to the people who wrote them. Do not file bugs or ask for help on the forum or IRC if you have followed either of these howtos.
Native files needed
No overrides are needed to install Office 2007 in 1.1.3 or later. Do not file bug reports for the installer if you have used any native dlls.
Once installed, the following overrides are needed to run:
riched20:Set riched20 to 'native' in Winecfg. DO NOT INSTALL IT YOURSELF. Office 2007 comes with its own version of riched20. Without using it, Powerpoint will not launch, and other features may be lacking.
Windows Scripting Host (jscript):
Needed for the thesaurus; install it with winetricks wsh56js.
wingdings.ttf: Most of the default bullet characters are from this font; if it is not installed on your system, Wine will substitute characters from a font that is installed on your system.
symbol.ttf: For versions of Wine prior to 1.1.16, this font must be installed for equations to display properly
usp10: Set usp10 to 'native,builtin' in winecfg for the equation toolbar in Word. There is no need to install it; simply set the override.
Questions?
The comments below are not regularly monitored. Please post any questions or requests for help on the forum.
Guidelines for Submitting Test Reports
Test in a clean wineprefix, using plain Wine.
Specify exactly which edition of Office 2007 you tested (Standard, Pro, etc.). This is crucial--bugs that affect one edition may not affect others.
Specify exactly what type of install you tested (Typical, Custom, Minimal, etc.)
Limit
your report to the installer only. Reports on the performance of
individual apps should be filed under their respective AppDB entries.
Problems with running any of the apps should only be mentioned if it is
clear that it is due to a problem with the installer.
If you used any overrides during the install,
please list them and explain exactly what problem each override was
needed to solve.
Test reports that do not follow these guidelines will be rejected.

Hi guy, Im currently running Mandriva 2010 PowerPack and I have not been able to install Microsoft Office 2007. I'm running wine version 1.1.32
I keep getting an error when I click in the setup file.
"Setup cannot contine because a required file is either corrupted or not available. Run Setup again from the original source disc or download location"
Here is some additional info I see when I tried to access the setup file via terminal.

Office 2007 Enterprise missing MSCVR80.dll and others
by Aron on Thursday November 12th 2009, 11:59
Hello,
I'm running fedora 11 x64 with kernel 2.6.30.9-96 and wine i586 1.1.32.
I installed the office installation on my Windows 7 partition using Windows 7.
When running
wine WINWORD.EXE
I get the following
fixme:actctx:parse_depend_manifests Could not find dependent assembly L"Microsoft.VC80.CRT" (8.0.50608.0)
err:module:import_dll Library MSVCR80.dll (which is needed by L"I:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Office\\Office12\\WINWORD.EXE") not found
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"I:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Office\\Office12\\WINWORD.EXE" failed, status c0000135
I did add the library two library exceptions with winecfg usp10 and the one that started with an r.
Can't type the serial
by Guilo on Friday November 6th 2009, 10:17
Hi !
I have installed Office 2007 Enterprise Edition on wine 1.1.31 sucessfully. I now want to install Office OneNote 2007 but when the installer shows up I can't type the serial (I haven't got the writing cursor) but I can click on next. Doing so will ask me to install wtihout key but install fails.
I have tried to reinstall Office 2007. When I launch the installer (which worked great beacause it allowed me to installed Office 2007 Enterprise Edition) it has the same behaviour as OneNote's one.
Office 2007 installation went flawlessly on my xubuntu 9.10.
Word and Excel works fine.
But I also have bug 20250, which is minor and does not bug me at all, but when I try to open (from Thunar) file which has spaces in its filename (e.g "Example Document.doc"), it tries to open "Example.doc and Document.doc" separately.
On the other hand, when I open this file directly from Word, then it will open as supposed.
I am using wine 1.1.31 and Office 2007 Enterprise.
I had previously installed stuff using winetricks so I had to set all libraries to builtin in winecfg, then I had to install msxml3 because the installer would not work without it, which failed previously, then the installation worked (not a custom installation), but crashed at the "applying updates" stage, so I just closed the program.
I then installed vcrun2005sp1 and allfonts and set riched20 to native in winecfg, and usp10 to "native, builtin".
I cant make it work
by Denisse on Thursday September 3rd 2009, 3:05
It says "setup did not complete successfully" after I click on "open with wine program loader.." I've followed many tutorials... i've rewritten rpcrt4.dll and msixml3.dll... I've set them to native and downloaded the winetricks stuff... but still it wont work !
Multiple installations problem
by rocko on Monday July 20th 2009, 2:57
I find that I can install Office 2007 *or* Visio 2007 *or* Project 2007 on a virgin wine installation, but once one of these is installed, the others will fail to install, citing an unknown error. Does anyone know why or how to fix it? Of course I can install them under different wine prefixes but it would be preferable under a single prefix.
Access won't work
by tydell on Friday March 13th 2009, 15:41
Hi !
I was wonder if someone installed Office 2007 Enterprise. I have this version and everything works fine except Access 2007. It's some msvcpr80.dll problem. Other apps works fine and some of them also need this dll to work, but only Access won't to start
