NOTE: THIS IS NOT A WORKING TUTORIAL I never got this to work and gave up. If you find any useful bit, go ahead an use them though.
My personal notes while trying to get Office 365 to install and run on my workstation.
Feel free to extract any useful information. Keep in mind that this is information is provided without any guarantees ... blah blah ... might kill your cat or format your wive ...
Here's some context on the system that I'm working with:
- Arch Linux (x64)
- NVidia Graphics with proprietary driver
- Multilib repo active
- Wine Staging 4.9.1
- Samba installed
- lib32-nvidia-utils, lib32-gstreamer, lib32-gst-plugins-good, lib32-mpg123
Use a fresh prefix to make sure no other apps affect us. Using 32bit since it's better tested and usually more stable.
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-prefix/office WINEARCH=win32 wineboot -i
Not sure if all of these are needed. Some I installed "just in case".
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-prefix/office WINEARCH=win32 winetricks corefonts
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-prefix/office WINEARCH=win32 winetricks msxml6
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-prefix/office WINEARCH=win32 winetricks gdiplus
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-prefix/office WINEARCH=win32 winetricks dotnet472
WINEPREFIX=~/.wine-prefix/office WINEARCH=win32 winetricks vcrun2017
Hi all,
I should have taken this down a long time ago. I never really got it to work and gave up. Employer gave me a Windows laptop, so I started using that for Office and Linux for actual work.
Gonna add a comment to prevent others from getting any hopes of finding a working tutorial :)
