Windows apps doesn't work on WINE

Asked by fagin

I'm on Ubuntu 8.04.

I installed WINE today. Then I installed Frontpage. But Frontpage won't work - I get a "Installation prematurely ended because of error message"

I also tried to install the Windows package - word, excel...etc. They won't install. I get a "missing or corrupt files" message.

Help, anyone?

Thanks

It's not possible to install all windows apps via Wine... If you want to install something first check http://appdb.winehq.org/ if is it supported.

It's not good to try install everything via Wine, try to find alternatives: OpenOffice.org <=> MS Office, Kompozer (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kompozer) <=> Frontpage
