problem with wine and MSOffice 2003

[jlj945]

hi, i am a linux newb.

i have fedora 10, and installed wine 1.1.15 (via YUM), most apps work fine like pivot, mactracker, ect. i read on just about every website, that MSOffice 2003 Pro works perfectly under wine. in the cd i press setup.exe, it acts like it will run like every thing else, but than crashes before the installation window even opens. if it makes any difference, ms office is on an ISO image, (i back every thing up on my external hard drive) i have wine set to emulate windows vista not xp.
thanks in advanced for any help.

Have you tried OpenOffice.org?

Or is it essential that you use MS Office?

run 'wine setup.exe' from a terminal window and post the messages that result.

Here is what terminal says when I typed 'wine setup.exe'

You did cd to the directory and run setup.exe right? Because wine go ape if you launch an exe directory.

For instance, you should have

cd <path of setup.xex>
wine setup.exe

Rather than:

wine /<path to setup.exe>/setup.exe
