Hi, The default wine settings is for Windows XP - you will need to change this to Windows 7 - also Wine tends not to like .msi packages - try to use 'Setup.exe' You may also need to add some .dll libraries in the configuration which are generally present - if not you can add them manually just by typing them in the 'add' box without the need to add '.dll' after the name - If I can find my Linux User and Developer Mag/Linux Magazine that explained how to install MS Office I will get back to you but my study is in a (aherm) mess - bit of an understatement really!

Hi, you should have PlayOnLinux as part of the install - Office 2010 is listed there - give that a try?
