Selected Test Results

What works

Dutch version tested.

Starting the setup. Enter username, initials, left company name empty. Accepting the EULA. Clicking "Install now" to install everything with default options. The installation completes and Access, Excel, Powerpoint and Word can now be started. So the installer appears to have installed all the applications without problems.

.doc and .xls files can now be opened directly from nautilus with Word/Excel as well. Perhaps you need to run Word/Excel first for it to pick up the new app.

All screens appear to be rendered correctly.

What does not

Additional Comments

Outlook cannot be started right after the installation because Outlook Express 4.1 or higher (note: Outlook is not the same as Outlook Express) is nowhere to be found, that's not wine's fault. I just didn't install Outlook Express 4.1 or higher prior to the installation because I couldn't be bothered. Call it human error.

Guidelines for Submitting Test Reports

Specify exactly which edition of Office 2000 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.
