[K12OSN] Wine Problem

["Terrell Prudé Jr."]

Would CrossOver Office Server edition be an option?  I know from past
experience that MS Office 2000 does work on it for multiple users, and
they make it quite easy to do the multiple-user apps thing (i. e. what
you're trying to do).

After I copied everything over to /wine and changed perms to 0755 I still couldn't get it to run (still tells me it isn't installed). I did kind of make it work by copying the *.reg files from /wine to ~/.wine but it kept giving me an error every time I started it. Did it just simply work for you or was there something else? I did already make the menu items by right clicking on the menu bar and clicking edit menu. Then I moved the .desktop files from my home directory to /usr/share/applications and copied the .config and .gconf folders to /etc/skel. They are pretty icons... but that doesn't mean much if they don't do anything :-D
