[cw-discuss] Problem with Office 2003 on Mandriva Spring 2008

[Eduardo M. A. M. Mendes]

Hello

 

I am a happy customer with my Crossover 1.3  running on my old Mandrake
10.0.  Unfortunately I need to upgrade my files to a new machine running
Mandriva 2008 spring.  I have downloaded crossover Pro 6.2 rpm version and,
as root, I issued the command rpm -ivh cross-----.rpm.

 

First thing I noticed it is hard to find the icon for crosspro on the new
mandriva.  After finding the configuration, I run crosspro to install MS
office 2003.  It chose bottle 2000 ( I have no idea what bottles mean and
had no choice but to go with defaults) .  The installation started ok and I
chose the whole office package.  After a long time the setup started but
ended at registering user or something like that (I have the log file but I
don't know if I can  post it to this mail list). 

 

Any help is appreciated.   

 

Thanks

 

Ed
