What works

Most of the applications run: Write, Spreadsheet, Database, Presentation. File i/o seems OK in most cases - Database can open MS Access MDB, Spreadsheet can open XLS, Presentation PPT etc.

What does not

Main problems so far:

  1. Photopaint application - does not start
  2. Presentation - unable to run Slide Show mode, unable to create any object with text.
  3. Write - slow display of text changes, text/selection miss-match, problems displaying cursor.
  4. Database can open and edit table info, create new Databases but cannot create new table (application exits).
  5. Cannot save to PDF in any app.
  6. Photo-Album application does not start

HowTo / Notes

Install note

Ability requires some basic Microsoft DLLs - MFC, Visual C++ runtime, DAO/JET. Before Ability can be installed, these DLLs must be installed. They can be downloaded here:

http://www.ability.com/download4/mfc/MFCSetup.MSI

http://www.ability.com/download4/jet/JetSetup.exe

And to install:

wine -i msiexec MFCSetup.MSI

wine JetSetup.exe

Also, note that Database runs best with msvcrt.dll set to Native.
