Wine Doors

We’ve had a few troubles migrating from our old server to our new server, most of the work is complete although the mailing lists are still down for now.

So we can get Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Publisher working great with wine now, 0.9.52 really makes the difference, we’re still working on getting Access and Outlook working but things have moved along in testing, we only have one stumbling block… We need to execute “mount /dev/cdrom -o remount,unhide” and ideally we’d do this by using [...]

So, the last two days I’ve been hard at work coding on the 0.2 structure and user interface, the application layout is a lot simpler and I’ve completely decoupled the user interface from the core functionality, so you’ll be able to use wine-doors on the command line or qt or whatever, osx is being looked [...]

We’ve ditched IEs4Linux, our reasons for this are many, mostly we couldn’t pull IE in as a dep, and the bottling arrangement would have made progress slow for us.

Fixes to many packages Improvements to the UI We’re hoping this will be out [...]

After trawling through the comments on WineHQ I have managed to get Office 2003 working in wine. The tricks required are as follows; Wine version must be 0.9.37, a regression has occurred in between 0.9.37 and 0.9.38 with regard to msi.dll, next you ... [More] must remove riched*.dll from windows/system32, next install the riched update, then the msxml3 [...] [Less]

[More] proxy support to downloader Lots of minor odds and sods Head over to the downloads page to grab yours! [Less]

A guy named Tom Wickline who has wine skills far beyond myself has come on board to advise us on some office 2003 issues and assist in getting things up and running. He runs a site called Wine Review which has a lot of cool hacks and tricks for getting some stuff up and running. Hopefully [...]
