Workarounds

If you try to install Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 English (32 Bit) on a Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) System, you may have problems during installation. I explain how I managed to successfully install it.

How to solve the problem and correct steps for installation

1. As a first step you have to install wine
sudo apt install wine-stable winbind winetricks


2. Start the installation process. In this example I use $HOME/prefix32. The folder will be created by wine and may not exist already.

WINEPREFIX="$HOME/prefix32" WINEARCH=win32 wine /path/to/your/office_setup.exe


3. We have to install an additional component.

WINEPREFIX="$HOME/prefix32" WINEARCH=win32 winetricks

A window will open as in the following image, apply configration like photos.




4. Now we have to make an adjustment to the windows registry


WINEPREFIX="$HOME/prefix32" WINEARCH=win32 winetricks





Here you most add a new key and DOWRD value.

  1. key name : Direct3D
  2. DWORD name : MaxVersionGL
  3. Hex Value Data : 30002




5. Now we set the wine environment to windows xp in winecfg


WINEPREFIX="$HOME/prefix32" WINEARCH=32 winetricks




Then set the Windows version to Windows XP.






6. As a last step reboot your operating system, after that you will find word, excel and powerpoint in the application menu.
If you have a problem you can test by directly opening a binary:

WINEPREFIX="$HOME/prefix32" wine ~/prefix32/drive_c/Program\ Files/Microsoft\ Office/your office version. eg. 2013(Office15)/POWERPNT.EXE



What was not tested

other applications except for Word, Excel and Powerpoint.

Hardware tested

HowTo / Notes

Guidelines for Submitting Test Reports

 

  1. Test in a clean wineprefix, using plain Wine. 
  2. Specify exactly which edition of Office you tested (Standard, Pro, etc.). This is crucial--bugs that affect one edition may not affect others.
  3. Specify exactly what type of install you tested (Typical, Custom, Minimal, etc.)
  4. 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.
  5. If you used any overrides during the install, please list them and explain exactly what problem each override was needed to solve.

    6. Test reports that do not follow these guidelines will be rejected.

Solution for custom installation -> drop down menu
by braytac on Sunday October 7th 2018, 12:48
You will not see anything in selecting, but finally the status is changed (by example: if option is not install -> you will see the "X" )

1)- Left click
2)- If major item is selected for [ install sub-items complety OR partialy ]
-> Press up arrow once for not install any (X)
If major item is selected for [ not install any (X) ]
-> Press down arrow once for install ALL
3)- Press Enter

Similar for subitems:

If subitem marked for not install (X) -> change to install: left click->Enter
If subitem marked for install -> change to not install: left click->arrow Up -> Enter

Where is the HKCU\Software\Wine\Direct3D\ entry?
by Benjamin D. on Saturday October 7th 2017, 8:14
I just managed to install office 2013 with the help of this entry! Thanks a lot!
But when i run Word I also entcounter the black window problem. I searched out fot the HKCU\Software\Wine\Direct3D\ reg entry but i couldn't even find the Direct3D entry anywhere. Am I missing something?

Besides: I used playonlinux to install office 2013 but before i did the installation auf the setup.exe i installed msxml4 followed by msxml6. This did the job for installation....

Thanks anyway cool job!

Best Benjamin.

Really strange problem: With msxml6 installed, no product key works anymore!
by Tormen on Friday March 24th 2017, 13:39
Hi,

It seems really bizzarre, but I tried it several times:

With the trial version (both German (de-de) and English (en-us)) downloaded from
www.microsoft.com/de-de/evalcenter/evaluate-office-professional-plus-2013
And mount the img file OfficeProfessionalPlus_x86_en-us.img to /mnt/iso.

When I create a fresh WINEPREFIX, set it to win7 and then install winetricks msxml6 and then run the setup, like so:

mkdir -p /virt/wines/ms.office2013
WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/virt/wines/ms.office2013/ winetricks settings win7
WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/virt/wines/ms.office2013/ winetricks msxml6
WINEARCH=win32 WINEPREFIX=/virt/wines/ms.office2013/ wine /mnt/iso/setup.exe

The behaviour of the setup changes!

It starts with first asking you to enter a product key.
And no matter what product key I entered, they all never worked (even though they should).

Without installing the msxml6, I saw a bunch of xml related messages in the output when launcching the setup, but in this case the setup right away offers to configure and install ms office!

Is that logical that with the msxml6 installed, this would then actually /break/ something ?
If helpful, I could provide debug output and/or file a bug report.

Thanks a lot in advance for any feedback!

Tormen
