Well, I installed wine and I tried to open Office365 installer using the code:

wine <file_name>

I received this error message:

0031:err:winediag:SECUR32_initNTLMSP ntlm_auth was not found or is outdated. Make sure that ntlm_auth >= 3.0.25 is in your path. Usually, you can find it in the winbind package of your distribution.

Then, the office installer started loading. After a while the loading page disappeared and I received another error message:

wine: Call from 0x7b44c1e7 to unimplemented function msvcp140.dll.?uncaught_exceptions@std@@YAHXZ, aborting 0040:err:seh:setup_exception stack overflow 1824 bytes in thread 0040 eip 000000007bc5dc43 esp 0000000000140ef0 stack 0x140000-0x141000-0x240000

I'm new to Linux so I don't know what to do.

Edit:

Office version: Professional Plus X64

XUbuntu version: 18.04

    A VM running windows is another option, or just use LibreOffice

  • @Xen2050 I tried LibreOffice but for me MS office is more suitable. I also think VM consumes HD space and memory :)

  • A VM consumes memory only when being used. Storage space is very cheap now with 1 TB HDD costing less than 70 USD (to date) or 14 GiB per dollar.

The volunteers who develop, test, and maintain Wine have done some testing of Office365, for Microsoft has not published instructions for Linux users nor has Microsoft released a Linux version.

The Wine installation guide and error description for the 64-bit Microsoft app ('Office365 Business') has not been tested with any version of Ubuntu, only with a 2017 version of Arch Linux x64. The least worst ('bronze' grade) results were obtained by:

  • Install MsXML6 (winetricks msxml6).
  • Set "HKCU\Software\Wine\Direct3D\MaxVersionGL" (DWORD) to "30002" (hex).
    After the installation:
  • Override riched20 to (native, builtin).
  • Copy DLLs (AppvIsvSubsystems32.dll, AppvIsvStream32.dll,C2R32.dll) from drive_c/Program Files/Common Files/Microsoft Shared/ClickToRun/ to drive_c/Program Files/Microsoft Office/root/Office16/.

The Wine installation guide and error description for the 32-bit Microsoft app ('Office365 Personal') reflects the experience in testing with Antergos x86_64, Gentoo Linux x86_64, and Ubuntu 16.04 "Xenial" amd64. The best results ('silver' grade) were accomplished with the latter, using these steps:

Step-by-step instructions:

  • create a 32 bit Wineprefix (leave Windows version on the default Windows 7)
  • install riched20, msxml6 with Winetricks
  • in Winecfg add the riched20(native, builtin) and msxml6(native, builtin) override manually (if not added by winetricks)
  • run the installer (the installation procedure is automatic)
  • after the installation copy the AppvIsvSubsystems32.dll and the C2R32.dll from: /Program Files/Common Files/Microsoft Shared/ClickToRun/ to: /Program Files/Microsoft Office/root/Office16/

  • Still impossible to get any Office (2016, 2019, 2021) working under Wine. I tried this all.
