404 CHAPTER 28 RUNNING MICROSOFT OFFICE UNDER UBUNTU Caution According to the wording of Microsoft s End User License Agreements, you can download and install the Windows components only if you have a valid Windows license. That s to say you can download Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player only if you own Windows XP, 2000, Me, 98, or 95. If you don t own these operating systems, then you ll be violating copyright laws. Also, you can install DCOM98, an additional component, only if you have a Windows 98 license; to do otherwise is to break copyright laws. Here are the steps for installation: 1. Open a web browser and go to http://sidenet.ddo.jp/winetips/config.html. From there, download the latest version of the Sidenet binary release. 2. When the download of Sidenet has finished, open a GNOME Terminal window (Applications . Accessories . Terminal) and type the following at the prompt (change the filename listed on the tar line to the match the name of the file you downloaded; these steps assume the file was downloaded to the desktop): cd ~/Desktop tar zxf wine-config-sidenet-1.9.0.tgz This will switch to where the download has been saved and unpack the downloaded archive into its own directory. 3. Download the following manually and place the downloaded files in the Sidenet directory you created earlier (on my system, this was wine-config-sidenet): DCOM98: www.microsoft.com/com/default.mspx Windows Installer add-in: www.microsoft.com/downloads/ release.asp?releaseid=32831 MFC 4.0 Runtime: www.softlookup.com/download.asp?ID=10315 The MFC 4.0 Runtime is supplied in a zip file. Open it with File Roller and extract all the contents of the zip to the Sidenet directory. Note The URLs for the additional Windows components were correct as this book went to press but it s possible that they may change. If that happens, searching the Web for the files in question should return ample download sites. 4. Once all the files are downloaded, click the GNOME Terminal window and type the following (this again assumes that you created the Sidenet directory in your desktop directory): cd ~/Desktop/wine-config-sidenet ./setup
