Use PowerWord 2003 under Linux

Wine can let you in Linux near perfect use PowerWord 2003! Here's how to use the PowerWord 2003 process.

First, solve the Wine itself

Then modify the Wine configuration file and copy the required DLL

1, copy several Windows DLLs: They are Comctl32.dll, Commdlg.dll, Commctrl.dll,shell.dll,shell32.dll,shfolder.dll,ole32.dll,oleaut32.dll,rpcrt4.dll is located under the system under your real Windows directory, Copy them to your virtual Windows directory under the system32. You can use the Install_win_lib from the Wine Toolkit to do this work. The format is as follows:

./install_Win_lib /mnt/c /

The first parameter is the mount point where your real windows is located (the default mount location for Mandrake is/mnt/win_c), and the second is the directory where you just set up the fake Windows C disk.

Note: These files must be WIN98 versions! If you don't have it, you can find it on Google.

2, modify the Wine config file: Open ~/. Wine/config, in a blank row, insert the following (you can insert in a blank line after the [Dlloverrides] section)

[AppDefaults\\setup.exe\\DllOverrides]
'ole32' = 'native'
'oleaut32' = 'native'
'rpcrt4' = 'native'
'comctl32' = 'native'
'shell' = 'native'
'shell32' = 'native'
'shfolder' = 'native'
[AppDefaults\\ikernel.exe\\DllOverrides]
'ole32' = 'native'
'oleaut32' = 'native'
'rpcrt4' = 'native'
[AppDefaults\\xdict.exe\\DllOverrides]
'commdlg' = 'native'
'ole32' = 'native'
[AppDefaults\\xdict.exe\\Version]
'Windows' = 'Win2000' ;关键所在

3. Place the Updatereg in the Wine Toolkit in the root directory of the Wine source code and execute his

./updatereg

If you are in the following implementation of PowerWord 2003 installer, you can not find the ikernel.exe error prompts, then it is because the less to do this step.

Installation PowerWord 2003

Now that you have two choices, if you have his installer, then it is strongly recommended that you install him under Linux, because this is the most common PowerWord 2003 functions are normal; if not, skip this part and go directly to use PowerWord 2003.

1, in order to correctly install PowerWord 2003, you must temporarily modify the Wine config file

Look for the following options in the config file and modify them to the following values:

'Managed' = 'N'
'Desktop' = '640x480'

(Note: Do not comment out these words, that is, make sure not to have a semicolon in front of these two lines)

After the correct installation of PowerWord 2003, you can change the above options back to the original value (recommended to change back to the default value).

2, put the CD into the/mnt/cdrom to run the installation program:

cd /mnt/cdromWine setup.exe

3, at this time will pop two windows, one is welcome screen, and a progress bar, when this progress bar to 100%, in the second window (IKernel.exe) will appear in the installation interface.

4. When choosing the installation directory, it is recommended to use the default location, if you want to specify, please specify a non-existent directory, otherwise the installer may be crash off.

5, installation should have no problems. Only after the installation is over, the Ikernel.exe window may not automatically disappear, you need to enter a command in a console (although generally can automatically exit, wait a while, if not quit, then use the following command)

killall Wine
killall Wineserver

Note: After each run of a Windows program, wait a moment, execute the above two sentences, and then run other Windows programs, you can dispense with a lot of trouble!

6, now you can change the contents of the config file temporarily changed back:

The default values are as follows:

'Managed' = 'Y'
;'Desktop' = '640x480'

(Note: The last line is commented out, that is, there is no "desktop" by default.) )
