I want to install Office 2003 on Wine following this guide (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=372011)
for it it I need something called Orca from Microsoft
I have XP on VMware but it doesn't pass the Genuine Advantage thing so I can't download Orca .I own a proper Windows XPCD that I got with my desktop but I don't want to install Windows again just to download it (and I live in China , very few people have a real Windows on their computer)
Can some download it for me and email me,
if it's a large file maybe you can host it temporarely somewhere or with yousentit.com, bit torrent or something
if you know of a link where I can download it directly -that would be cool
Thanks!

Hey seshomaru,

What exactly do you need downloaded? Where are you in china?

Why not just use OpenOffice?

I could send you a WGA patch that passes the validation test... PM me your email, and I will send the patch to you..

Is this what you need for orca.exe? I went through the steps and this is what I was able to download. Setup.exe is the file and it is here:

If anyone is trying to send him the file, just use yousendit.com if it is under 100mb.
