Still suffers of bug 30033
Using Office 2010 Professional Plus Build 14.0.4760.0001, and a clean wineprefix.
Specify exactly which edition of Office 2010 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.
HOWTO
(2012-06-04)
Office 2010 has been installable in 32 bit Wine beginning with 1.3.9; however, versions prior to 1.3.35 suffered from bug 25476. This bug was fixed as of 1.3.35; if you are using an older version of Wine, upgrade.
Beginning with Wine 1.5.6, wine-mono is required for supported configurations. If your distro does not provide a wine-mono package, follow the instructions on http://wiki.winehq.org/Mono to install it.
If installing Office Professional Plus in a Wine version older than 1.5.6, see the note below for additional steps that must be taken prior to running the installer. These steps should not be needed for 1.5.6 and later provided wine-mono is installed on your system.
Make sure all dependencies of Wine are installed on your system, including winbind.
Install Office 2010 to a clean wineprefix--no winetricks or other tweaks, and no other applications installed. Do not change the Windows version in winecfg; it should remain at the default setting of XP.
Note: If you have 64 bit Wine installed on your system, you must create a 32 bit wineprefix for Office 2010 using the WINEARCH=win32 environment variable.
After installing, set riched20 to native, builtin in winecfg to enable Powerpoint to start and selection boxes to display correctly. Do not use winetricks; Office installs its own riched20 to a private directory, and the one installed by winetricks is insufficient. This override may be set globally if Office is installed to a separate wineprefix (recommended). If other applications are installed to the wineprefix (strongly discouraged), either set the override individually for each Office application, or set riched20 to builtin individually for the non-Office applications, as non-Office applications will not be able to find the riched20 installed by Office.
HOWTO: Office Professional Plus Workarounds for Wine versions without wine-mono
(2012-06-04)
Office Professional Plus does not require .NET to be installed, but if it detects that it is installed, it will look for a machine.config file. This will fail on Wine versions without wine-mono installed (i.e., versions prior to 1.5.6).
The recommended solution is to install wine-mono. The instructions below are provided solely for those who are unable to upgrade to a version of Wine supporting wine-mono.
There are two ways to work around this without installing wine-mono:
Copy a
machine.config file from a native Mono install to the
wineprefix's drive_c/windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v2.0.50727/CONFIG
directory.
Delete all .NET-related registry keys.
Installing winetricks dotnet20 will also work around the bug; however, because that will install native dlls that may cause other problems, it is not recommended.
The above workarounds must be done before running the installer. If you do not, and the installer fails, you must delete that wineprefix and start fresh, as the rollback process leaves behind something that prevents subsequent attempts from succeeding, even with one of the workarounds applied. Note also that a rolled-back install leaves running processes that must be killed manually.
Known regressions
(2012-12-04)
There are known regressions affecting the Office 2010 installer in the versions of Wine listed below. Do not attempt to install in them.
1.5.18
1.3.30
In addition, Office 2010 is not installable in any version prior to 1.3.9; this includes all 1.2.x versions.

MSXML version 6.10.1129.0
by Joanna on Sunday April 28th 2013, 12:18
hi, I try to install mc office 2010 in mountain lion with wine 1.4,
I input in terminal window:
WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=~/win32 wiecfg,
added libraries msxml6, riched20, gdiplus,
then use
env WINEPREFIX=~/win32 wine setup.exe
for office installation,
the error appears that there is no winbind, so I installed Samba,
and now I got error that MSXML 6.10.1129.0 is not installed-appareantly msxml6 is not the latest,
I downloaded exc from Microsoft and install it with wine but no luck, appreciate comments
cheers,Joanna
Install with older version then upgrade
by David on Wednesday December 5th 2012, 13:55
This is how I got Office 2010 Pro 32-bit working on openSUSE 12.2 64-bit:
1. Install wine 1.5.6
2. Install office
WINEARCH=win32 wine setup.exe
# Now Office is kind of buggy in wine 1.5.6 (but wont install in 1.5.18), so I upgraded
3. Install wine 1.5.18
4. DLL overrides
riched20
winhttp
5. Samba changes to make Exchange accounts work
Add 'client ntlmv2 auth = no' to the global section of /etc/samba/smb.conf
6. Configure accounts from `wine control` Mail.
7. Outlook locks up a few times while loading mail. Just kill the process and start it up again a few times. Eventually it works.
Word, Excel, and PowerPoint seems to work just fine now.
Office 2010 not installing on Mint 13
by Philbert on Monday November 26th 2012, 11:49

Office 2010 32bit Pro Plus fails on Ubuntu 12.04
by Costa on Friday November 16th 2012, 21:53
Hello All,
My system is Ubuntu 12.04 x64 and the 32bit installer always fails. I've tried with wine 1.5.17 and stable 1.4.1 without success. I've installed mono 2.1 and i tried to set WINEARCH=win32 on a new wineprefix but i'm getting the error:
wine: WINEARCH set to win32 but '/home/konstantinos/.wine/wineprefixes/msoffice2010' is a 64-bit installation.
When i start with a new wine installation without any winearch setting, wine recognizes that it is a 32bit installer and it places it in the "Program Files (x86)" directory but then it fails with the error:
err:msi:ITERATE_Actions Execution halted, action L"StartServices" returned 1627
err:rpc:I_RpcGetBuffer no binding
err:rpc:I_RpcGetBuffer no binding
err:module:import_dll Library sqdedev.DLL (which is needed by L"C:\\users\\konstantinos\\Temp\\msi598a.tmp") not found
(I have removed the fixme warnings)
I don't understand what did i miss. Do i need to install something else? Please help.
Thanks
office 2010 on fedora

fedora users please remember to install samba-winbind for the installation to become successful. otherwise , the installer hangs in between and would give an error.

KMS Activation
by troy on Thursday August 9th 2012, 12:53
If you use office products which use Microsoft KMS to activate, the OSPP.VBS script doesn't work with wines wscript. I've created a script which does the activiation, its much shorter than OSPP.VBS. You have to set your activation host in the registry before using the script.
use regedit to set HKLM\Software\Microsoft\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform\KeyManagementServiceName
to your KMS server address or IP, then save the following visual basic script in a .VBS file and run it with wscript from the wine cmd prompt.
Z:\> wscript OSPP-ACT.VBS
you will be able to activate MSOffice products via KMS in Wine.
Function ExecuteQuery(strSelect,strWhere,strClass)
Err.Clear
If strWhere = "" Then
Set productinstances = objWMI.ExecQuery("SELECT " & strSelect & " FROM " & strClass)
Else
Set productinstances = objWMI.ExecQuery("SELECT " & strSelect & " FROM " & strClass & " WHERE " & strWhere)
End If
sppErrHandle ""
End Function
Set count = productinstances.Count
For index = 0 to count
set instance = productinstances.Item(index)
If (LCase(instance.ApplicationId) = OfficeAppId) Then
If instance.PartialProductKey "" Then
i = i + 1
End If
instance.Activate
SppErrHandle(strCommand)
End If
Next
