I have to admit that I absolutely love Office 12, I’ve be using it on Ubuntu since 8.04 and OpenOffice just doesn’t compare! So, I needed to install Office 2007 onto Ubuntu 9.04 (as I did a clean install). If you do too, follow along with my handy guide!
Uninstall Previous Versions Of Wine
For some odd reason, Office 2007 will not run on a version of Wine above 1.1.14. For that reason, if you currently have Wine installed, uninstall it by follow these steps:
- Open the terminal.
- Enter the following:
sudo apt-get remove wine - Remove the hidden Wine folder by entering the following into the terminal:
rm -rf ~/.wine
Install Wine
I’ll be using Wine 1.1.14 as I know it works.
- Open Firefox and navigate to the The WineHQ .deb Packages Archives and download Wine 1.1.14 for your system architecture.
- Install the .deb
- You will see a dialog box that reads: “An older version is available in the software channel.”

- Click the “Close” button.
- Click the “Install Package” button.

- Enter your password to install Wine.
Install Microsoft Office 2007
Now the fun part!
- Insert your Microsoft Office 2007 install disc into your computer’s CD-ROM drive.
- Look for the setup.exe executable.
- Right-click the installer and click “Open with other application”
- Choose Wine Windows Program Loader.
- Enter your serial number.
- Accept the User Agreement.
- Click the large “Install Now” button

If you click the Customize button, you can chose which components you want to install. You can also enter your name, initials and company name. This information will be embedded into every document that you create, just like in the PC version.


Install Winetricks
- Switch back to the terminal and enter the following:
sudo wget www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks - Once complete, enter this command:
sudo apt-get install cabextract - Enter the following:
sh winetricks corefonts tahoma vcrun2005sp1 wsh56js - Agree the Visual C++ license agreement.

- Click the “Yes” button to install Windows Script 5.6

- Agree to the license agreement.
Configure Wine
- Enter the following into the terminal:
winecfg - Switch to the Libraries tab

- In the New override for libraries combo box, enter: riched20 and click the “Add” button
- With riched20 highlighted, click the “Edit” button.
- Select the “Native (Windows)” radio button and click the “OK” button.

- Enter usp10 into the New override for libraries combo box.
- Click the “OK” button to close the Wine configuration dialog box.
Test Microsoft Office 2007
All of the Microsoft Office applications should now have appeared in your application menu: Applications->Wine->Programs->Microsoft Office
For some odd reason, Office 2007 will not run on a version of Wine above 1.1.14
The only thing that I don’t agree is about this line “Office 2007 will not run on a version of Wine above 1.1.14″ actually you can use Wine versions 1.1.12 to 1.1.16 and 1.1.24 in installing it.
Try to update your guide again, the latest wine 1.1.24 has fixed the (odd reason) “regression issue” in installing Microsoft Office 2007.
Also,
“I’ll be using Wine 1.1.14 as I know it works.
1. Open Firefox and navigate to the The WineHQ .deb Packages Archives and download Wine 1.1.14 for your system architecture.”
There is no Wine 1.1.14 for Jaunty
please answer, OpenOffice.org is, I’m afraid, CRAP!!! (
David,
If you check out there .deb archives, you’ll notice there are packages for Wine 1.1.14 – but they’re not in your the repositories:
Remember: You need to uninstall any previous installed version of Wine before installing any 1.1.14.
There is really no Wine 1.1.14 for Jaunty from this site http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/index.html but you can use the Hardy’s wine instead.
As of now, the only issue I’ve noticed right now in wine 1.1.24 is the Multiple entries listed for MS OFFICE.
Play On Linux uses wine also if you can only provide the error message from your terminal I/We can help.
Thanks a lot, but I installed it using PlayOnLinux that does the job for you
(playonlinux.com)
I have followed your tutorial and I hope I could install successfully MS Office 2007. I am using wine ubuntu 9.04 and wine verion 1.1.14.
Now I can run Word, Excel, Power Point and Outlook. but unfortunately I was not able to run “MS Office Access 2007″
also I tried to run on Console and then I got this following output:

Try:
sh vcrun2005vcrun2005 – installs MS C++ 2005 libraries, mfc80, msvcp and msvcr80.
If that doesn’t work, delete Wine and start over:
sudo apt-get remove winerm -rf ~/.wineReinstalling the same Wine version won’t help see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=885111 for details
Deleting wine folder will help.
Try:
rm -rf ~./winenot
rm -rf ~/.wineIf someone will encounter problems using this guide you can also ask help from http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=313 make sure to search first before asking questions.
Reinstalling the same wine version won’t help see details from this site http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=885111
and the code to delete the hidden wine folder is
rm -rf ~/.winenot
rm -rf ~./wineThanks!
Totally rocks. Works well. Thank you so much. Just a clarification needed. You say “# Enter usp10 into the New override for libraries combo box.”. Should I click the “Edit” button for usp10 and Select the “Native (Windows)” radio button and click the “OK” button?
Nope, only for riched20.
Thanks Saman. Great job. Keep it up.
Hi. Thanks a lot. Works well most of the time. I have just one small annoyance. When I use powerpoint and I try to rotate any object like a shape or textbox, the background turns black and I cannot see the slide. But the rotation works. As soon as I stop rotating the object, the slide looks normal with the newly rotated object. If this black background during object rotation can be fixed, it would be great.
Thank you so much.
Cheers,

Hi
First I want to thank you very much. It really works. However I have some problems with excel text field and axis description when text has to be aligned to y axis (going down or up instead horizontally). In such case all text is compressed to one point.
Much less important issue is lack of ms icons for word, excel and so on after installation and lack of link to exe files in wine. But I just made in Inkscape my own icons connected to exe files and I placed them on toolbar.
I am using the newest wine and you recommended older version so that maybe a reason for these problems? Anyway it is just small inconvenience comparing to nicely working suite.
Hi Chris,
I too have exactly the same problem and looks like there is no fix. However, what I do is use word-art and rotate it vertically for the y-axis and it looks fine. I choose the simplest word-art so it is not evident for someone seeing the excel chart.
Hope this helps.
With regards to Powerpoint, I agree, I too have exactly the same problem as Morpheus. Not really a problem, just an annoyance.
Cheers,
Harry
Hello,
Unfortunately, still now I am not success with MS Access database.
Do you have any luck to run MS Access on wine?
If you have the luck to run MS Access on wine the please let me know the procedure. Please let me know as step by step. As I am facing a problem to run MS Access, “C++ Run time error.”
even I was not able to successfully install the vcrun2005 by using winetricks. Hope I will get some reasonable solutions.
Thank you.
Mohsin
i have sort of an unusual problem where word and excel work but if i try and start powerpoint it first will start then immediately close and if i try and start it a second time i will get asked to run it in safe mode. it never starts fully. has anyone else experienced anything similar or know of any fixes?
Ali,
Your problem can be fix by clicking Applications>Wine>Wine Configuration then click Libraries be sure to add riched20 and set it to native windows.
That’s it!

Note
I am having the same problem! “Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window.”
Thank you so much for this blog.
I have been trying to get onenote working for about 4 hours (Sad I know, but I need it for my studies). This is the only easy to use setup blog that got onenote fully opp for my needs.
Wonderful ( :
I did the install, but none of the Office apps show up in the Wine Programs tab. If I go to “Browse C: Drive” it has Microsoft Office, but no application launching icons… What did I do wrong?
I had the same problem…did anyone solve this?
- Go and edit ~/.config/menus/applications.menu
- Look for a menu entry with name “wine-wine”
- If this entry has a “” tag, remove it; that was the problem.
Thank you Harry, I was trying and it works
.
Demian – I had the same problem but when I have installed another software by wine all Office apps showed up in Wine Programs tab with all icones. Hope it will work for you too.
Hello and thank you for this wonderful follow-through.
I have made office work apart from one excel spreadsheet that makes use of macros. Every time a macro is to be executed I receive a popup box informing me the following: “Run-time error ‘5′: Invalid procedure call or argument”.
Is it at all possible to run macros and what do you think may be the cause of my problem.
Any help appreciated.
All the best,
Dusan
Hello!
This walk through almost works
. I can start ms word and power point without having problems, only when I try to start excel there is a strange error:
Exception raised: Unhandled page fault on write access to 0×00000004 at address 0×7eddceb5. Do you wish to debug it?
Does anyone have an idea what it means?
Thank you!

For the curious amongst us, could you explain what the purpose of the “Overrides for libraries” entries riched20 and usp10 are for? What do they do? How do they do it?
These step by step instruction is pretty clear and precise. No one could go wrong following this lead. Thank you so much for this guide.
u r a freaking legend 10/10
i tried other sites you are only good. but i have a lil problem the document is not justified its on the left you know u usually open office in windows the a4 page is in the middle now its on the far left…
nothing big hahhahha
just go to view and change the settings there.
I tried to install as described but during installation I get an error. It says some file (for instance Setup.xml) is not found. I checked and it actually exists. I point the directory where it exists but still no luck, it insists it doesn’t exist. Any help on this issue would be great.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Thank you for providing these instructions. I was able to successfully install and execute Office 2007 Enterprise, with Wine 1.1.26 (i386) and winetricks, on Ubuntu 9.04 Netbook Remix.
Everything installed on my machine nicely. Unfortunately, my Student edition of Office 2007 has already been activated three times. I actually activated it on the same machine that Ubuntu is running on. Is there any way around this besides getting MS on the phone and explaining everything is the same as before – except I now have a different OS?
Thanks!
I get the following when trying to run Access? Any ideas guys?

Hello. Thank”s for excellent guide. I have already tested this on my PC Wine version 1.1.28. Excel, Word, Outlook working good but Excel and Groove doesn”t work. Anybody can help me? Tested on Ubuntu Jaunty.
This guide worked great, but when I open outlook 2007 and try and connect to my exchange server I get the error
“Outlook cannot log on. Verify you are connected to the network and are using the proper server and mailbox name. The operation failed.”
I have tried the short name, the FQDN and just the IP address of the server and it is the same message every time. I know the application is working on the network because I can connect through the POP3 protocol without issue. Anyone know how to fix this? I also tried upgrading to the latest wine 1.1.28 after the successful install of office.
Hi,
Great guide! It works well except for the purpose I wanted it for
I need to use makros in excel and like Dusan I get an error message and is forced to close…
Can anybody help?
Regards
Thanks for the excellent guide but Outlook do not work for me.
When trying to run Outlook I got the message:
“Cannot Open Outlook window”
Any idea?
Thx!
Why is it when the prompt for keying in of the serial number the blinking cursor didn’t appear?
Why is it when the prompt for keying in of the serial number the blinking cursor didn’t appear?
Thats because you used the “New override for libraries” step before installing. Remove them, install, then add them again.
I want to uninstall Office 2007. How would I do that?? should i remove them one by one from wine??
Works like charm! Keep up good work!
I’m using wine-1.1.31 on Kubuntu 9.04
Thx a lot.
Hey! Thanks for this how-to! Worked perfectly fine on my system. However, I used Wine version 1.1.31 and encountered no problems.
So as of now, I’m running Microsoft Office 2007 on Ubuntu Jaunty.
P.S. — I’m going to blog about it later… and can I repost some of your steps? I’ll give you credit of course.
Thanks!
hello,
today i reinstalled ubuntu 9.04, and updated to 9.10 beta.
i have tried wine versions:
1.1.14
1.1.16
1.1.18
1.1.24
1.1.29
1.1.31
but none of these seems to work, some give me the error window, and the rest just do not start it (in the window list appears “starting setup.exe” but it disappears aftes some seconds)
i removed each time the wine software using the commands:
sudo apt-get remove –purge wine
rm -rf ~./wine
rm -rf ~/.wine
(i saw someone recomending the third istead of the second to delete the hidden wine folder, so i used both)
any suggestions?
thanks
haii,,
First of all, your guide is awesome. I installed it painless on a friends pc. But trying to install it on my own pc is a pain.
I’ve installed wine 1.1.14 after that I tried to run the office setup.exe. The first time I had a error “Windows is too old” :S
After that the error Windows disappeared but another one came up. “Setup cannot continue because a required file is either corrupt or not available. Run setup again” So I did some test on a vista pc and my friends pc again there was nothing wrong with it.
So anyone has a suggestions what to do and how to solve it?
Ty in advantage

Hello.
Thanks for the guide.
I have the same problem as some other people : impossible to start outlook.
I tried to override rpcrt4.dll (as found on some others web pages) but the problem remains : the error message changes but there is still a probme with rpc_something.
Any idea ?

Fred
i solved the problem i stated above, it was too siple..
i used an iso image of the office 2007 i have on my HDD, but to mount it i was using “right click -> open with archive mounter” so i had the above problem.
finaly i tried to mount it using terminal, with the command:
mount //office2007.iso //office2007folder -o loop
and it installed effortlessly with wine 1.1.16
@Daniel
check if wine is set to use windows vista or xp
@berdux
its vista… haha but ty for thinking tho
All the instructions were great, does anyone know how i can get powerpoint to work? also, if just click an offic file it tells me when the program opens that it cant find it but if the program is already open and i then search for the file and open it it works. Is there anyway around this perculiar set up?
what about “OpenOffice”? its free
http://www.openoffice.org/
Hey dude awesome walkthrough one of the best around i must say. however 1 small problem. all apps work except for Access it looks like it attempts to open up but then just closes down any suggestions anyone?
I use Wine 1.1.24 i386, -dev and it all works except when I try to run macros in Excel. I experince the same problems as other has mentioned before me. Has anyone been able to run macros in Excel?
Jesus!
You just saved me!
Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala + Wine 1.1.32 + Winetricks = MS Office 2007
Great thanks!
Worked like a charm, thanks.
There is something that won’t work though, inserting charts in word. It says:
Dialog 1:
“To insert a chart, you must first close any open dialog boxes or cancel editing mode in Microsoft Office Excel.”
Then I click ok and get:
“Some chart types cannot be combined with other chart types. Select a different chart type.”
It doesn’t matter which chart type I choose, I still get the same error.
Any ideas?
Also I never got the Visual C++ license dialog. It could have something to do with that, how do I force it?
I want first to thank you for this post
However I am having 3 problems:
(1) I am having exactly the same problem as Mosselman, any solution for that?
(2) In addition to that, this problem exists in Powerpoint besides not all shapes could be inserted it turns into black slide!!!
(3) Access doesn’t open at all, it keep telling “Starting Microsoft Access” then nothing happens!!!!
Note: I am newly switched to Linux environment.
App doesn’t even start, and I tried to run them on console and I even can’t get to the directoru Program Files

By the Way: I am using Xubuntu 9.10 and I downloaded Wine 1.1.24. I also followed your instructions to the letter.
At the end of your instructions you say:
6 Enter usp10 into the New override for libraries combo box.
7 Click the “OK” button to close the Wine configuration dialog box.
I assumed you had to click the “Add” button after step 6 and then do step 7?
Many thanks once again.

Hello, I found the guide very useful, thank you. I easily installed Office 2007 and it all worked…….but the next day I booted up and now none of the apps start – in app bar it says “starting Microsoft Office Word 2007″ for example and then after 10 seconds this disappears and the app does not start. I havent made any config changes to my setup since yesterday apart from installing some other apps. Can you help please?
Thanks for the guide. I’ve not had much experience with Ubuntu so this might come in handy one day.
Thanks for this how-to !
But I got a problem..
When installing, at almost 75%, it shows me a pop-up asking me that he couldn’t find “setup.exe” and asks me to find the good folder.
Any help?
Thanks a lot !
PS : Running on 9.10, Wine 1.1.32 (same problem with 1.1.14)
If you get an error like this when running MS Access:

Change the manifest file for access msaccess.exe.manifest found in [Your Wine Prefix]../Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office12 and remove the dependency reference to AceDAO, ie edit the file and remove the following lines: (it may be run together on the same line...)
I am getting this error, when I tried to open any MSOffice application
Microsoft Office is not installed for this user, run setup for installation.
Thank you very much for this how-to. It also works perfectly with Ubuntu Karmic 9.10.

thanks for d awesome step by step how-to documents.
I have installed ubuntu 9.04 with wine 1.1.37.
office 2007 is installed well but outlook does not open. it is giving error message.
Please help me if anyone resolved this issue. I reinstalled wine and office 2007 no of times. but no luck.
The guide was great, and it installed easily. However, while all the programs seemingly work, they programs do not appear under the Wine>Programs. Instead, I have to navigate to the .exe files and launch them with Wine. Any help on this?
Thanks a lot for this! really helped a lot! Works like acharm
Thanks a lot. It was very helpful!
I got the solution from Wine HQ forum
1. Open the file msaccess.exe.manifest (you should find it in the same directory as msaccess.exe) in a text editor.
2. Delete the following:
3. Save the edited file.
It is NOT necessary to install vcrun2005 with winetricks or copy the dlls to the program directory.
Note that these workarounds are just to enable Access to start; functionality appears to be limited.
It’s WORKS
this is the code that migth to delete

without “”
It doesn’t show the code so go here

hi thanks for uploading this good informative article. It is so difficult to install office 2007 your tips will prove to be very useful.
Thanks. For your great tutorial. I try to install MS office so many time but still fail until I find this tutorial.
arman´s last blog ..Kepada : Pengguna baru Ubuntu dan Pengguna Tegar Windows
great tutorial
i installed office 2007 and adope photoshop cs2 as well. and i used the
“Wine 1.1.38 i386″. Thaks for your great tutorial.
Thanks a lot!
Finally it’s rocking and running…
I was able to install MS Office 2007 (Office12) into Wine 1.1.41.
Then, when I launch Word, Excel, Pwrpt, etc., it would start the app, then error out with “not installed for this user”.
I was able to work around this by editing the “system.reg” file (after making a backup copy), replacing ‘\”\\6′. This fixed the issue. (I got the idea from Crossover’s .c4p registry xml file).
Followed these instructions religiously on Karmic (9.10) and it worked like a charm.
Wow I didn’t know Office 2007 worked on Ubuntu through wine. Thanks for sharing.
mattkendrick.com´s last blog ..Mozilla Drumbeat: Universal Subtitles
Thanks a lot buddy..

Thank you!
thanks, it works on ubuntu 9.04
Thanks, I installed it just like you say and it works.
Saman,
Can we use all the application (Word, Excell, powerpoint, Access) of MS Office 2007 perfectly well in Ubuntu if we uninstall Wine version(Ubuntu 9). In all the above comments, everyone is facing some or the other issues.
I have laptop HP dv4i…icore3 processor 2.1Ghz…ram 4gb. Already have Win7 installed and works fine. I have worked on linux and somehow i want to try ubuntu. Linux version are fast and secure which would be the reason to switch to it. Ubuntu is the latest developments so i hope Ubuntu would have all the latest drivers for x64 architecture. Any suggestions?

Worked like a charm on my Ubuntu Netbook Remix!!!
Dude’s a badass…
Thanks! That did the trick!
Currently, Access will install but not start up (bugs 18889 & 19297). There are two known workarounds (tested in 1.1.33):
Workaround 1:(preferred method, as it does not remove any dependencies)
1. Use a resource editor to extract the manifest from ACEDAO.DLL (you will find it in the same directory as msaccess.exe). (I used Resource Tuner; it has a free trial and runs well under Wine.)
2. Save the extracted manifest as acedao.manifest in the same directory as msaccess.exe.
3. Delete or rename the ACEDAO.DLL located in that directory. (There is another copy in another directory–no need to change it.)
Workaround 2: (use only if there is no ACEDAO.DLL installed anywhere)
1. Open the file msaccess.exe.manifest (you should find it in the same directory as msaccess.exe) in a text editor.
2. Delete the following:
3. Save the edited file.

Did anyone manage to get Outlook running successfully? I can’t get past the server details part of registering an account, I get a message saying “Outlook cannot log on. Verify you are connected to the network and are using the proper server and mailbox name.”
Thank you, I could install it with this guide, but every time I run Word, a window beneath the “Office Word 2007″ splashscreen appears saying “Installation progress…” (with a progess bar on it) and I have to wait 3 minutes and then I can work on it.
Excel doesn’t have this issue.
¿Can you help me? Thank you

E: The list of sources could not be read.
Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.”

Hi,
Does anyone still have wine 1.1.14 to work successfully with Ubuntu
9.0.4 ?
I could not find this wine version in
http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/archive/index.html
Perhaps, somebody knows more recent wine version which works
flawlessly with 9.0.4 and MS Office 2007 ?
Thanks a lot.
I just couldn’t leave your site before telling you that I truly enjoyed the useful info you offering to your visitors… Will be back soon to check up on newborn posts

how to install microsoft office 2011 in ubuntu ?
yeah, great job. i love ubuntu…
First I want to thank you very much. It really works. However I have some problems with excel text field and axis description when text has to be aligned to y axis (going down or up instead horizontally). In such case all text is compressed to one point.
Much less important issue is lack of ms icons for word, excel and so on after installation and lack of link to exe files in wine. But I just made in Inkscape my own icons connected to exe files and I placed them on toolbar.
I am using the newest wine and you recommended older version so that maybe a reason for these problems? Anyway it is just small inconvenience comparing to nicely working suite.
Thanks man, I recently got ubuntu on a new machine and its so fast and simple but I did have trouble getting office running so I could view my excel docs.
Again thanks !
Hi, Saman. Thank you very much for the tutorial. I succeed to install Office 2007 using Wine 1.1.10 . I follow exactly step by step of your tutorial except the use of Wine version. After installing I click Word icon, nothing happen. I forgot to change Windows version back to XP (your other tutorial). And it works!
Thanks for sharing. -

Awesome stuff. I didn’t necessarily need to do this but I did it more for fun. I love trying to cross breed windows and linux.
FYI: I just tried it with office 2010 and wine 1.3.20 and it worked great for me!

I was unable to install MS Office XP onto my 10.04 installation. The CD comes from Dell. The first error message I get is:
err:msi:ITERATE_Actions Execution halted, action
L”CAGetDPCOEMData” returned 1603
When I try installing it directly (going to the CD and running an executable), it fails because the execute bit isn’t set.
The installed version of Wine is 1.2.2-0ubuntu2~lucid1
Ideas?

bonjour,
Ayant installer linuxmint sur mon ordi je voulais installer office 2007. J’ai donc lancé l’installation sur playonlinux et celle ci s’est déroulée sans problème. Mais maintenant je ne peux pas lancer word ou un des programes de la suite car il me met le message suivant :Le lanceur d’application « Microsoft Office Excel 2007.desktop » n’est pas marqué comme fiable. Si vous ne connaissez pas la provenance de ce fichier, son lancement est potentiellement dangereux. je ne peut pas non plus ouvrir un fichier word car il me dit que ce format ne peut etre lu par aucun programme. J’ai essayé votre technique, mais quand il faut entrer dans le terminal sh winetricks corefonts tahoma vcrun2005sp1 wsh56js, alors il me dit : wine cmd.exe /c echo ‘%ProgramFiles%’ returned unexpanded string ‘%ProgramFiles%’ … can be caused a corrupt wineprefix, an old wine, or by not owning /home/henri/.wine
Comment fait-on pour régler ce problème ? si vous pouviez m’expliquer le plus simplement possible ca m’arrangerai car je suis un débutant merci d’avance
Probably I will have to review this before installing. I am a bit of clumsy, every time I click unexpectedly the keyboard and the screen just go crazy, I easily startle.How much more doing this thing.
