How to get legal Office 2010 to work on Ubuntu
Alright, this time, I did it the legal way, and I got Office 2010 from Microsoft via the invitation only technical preview signup thing. Now, I want to know how to get it to work Ubuntu.
Where did I get this from? From the technical preview signup from here (https://microsoft.crgevents.com/Offi...tent/Home.aspx, though now its over)

Try it in Wine. If it doesn't work, it probably won't for a while since most people can't test it to try to make it work since it's not out yet.

Re: How to get legal Office 2010 to work on Ubuntu
Which version of Wine would be the best for Office 2010? I know that I need an MSXML of 6 or above.
Re: How to get legal Office 2010 to work on Ubuntu
Well, apparently, Crossover has better support for Office 2007 now. I'll download the trial and see if I can get it to work...
(NOTE: MSXML 6.0 or above needs to installed in the same bottle that you intend to install Office 2010 into, or it won't work)

Yea give it a go on Crossover, I use Onenote 2007 on it and it works quiet well :)

I tried to install it, but I get ERROR_LANGUAGE_NOT_SUPPORTED does anyone know how to fix this?
Re: How to get legal Office 2010 to work on Ubuntu
Now that I've finally got some free time, I should finally be able to test Office 2010 beta under Crossover/Wine (I'm banking on Crossover working, because that's way more stable ;-) I'm gonna give installing 2010 beta in a Office 2007 "bottle" a crack
Re: How to get legal Office 2010 to work on Ubuntu
I am using crossover 8 with a winxp bottle. I just downloaded the beta version of office 2010.
All I get is "Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 encountered an error during setup."
When I try to install 2007 I also get ERROR_LANGUAGE_NOT_SUPPORTED.

Strange :???: Office 2007 in Crossover (with winxp bottle) works fine on 64-bit Ubuntu 9.10 for me, and it also worked fine on 32-bit Ubuntu 9.10 on my old lappy (before it broke :-(). Maybe its a problem with the cd/installer?
I'll give Office 2010 a crack on Crossover tonight...
