Installing and Running Office 365 on Wine

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.

Installing and Running Office 365 on Wine

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

Create Wine prefix

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

Add some libraries

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
