Copy 4.0.1 of Open Office installs fine to Puppy Linux. Runs fine too. Version 4.10 leads to the wrong directory for the installation. They need to fix the installation directory entry to capital letters. (I think somebody should tell them!)

You can download from there:

If You need an other language - load the add on from the source.

I would strongly suggest not to mix up Win/XP and Win7 applications while running Wine.

How to do a Windows 7 setup for Wine?
=========================

Follow the same steps as described on page 3 of this post.
At 'Menu->Utility->Wine Config' choose Windows 7 and click Ok. From there on you follow the same steps.

How to swap from Wine Win/XP to Wine Windows 7 ?
================================

If you already have Wine installed on '/mnt/home/ wine' (f.e. sda1) rename the folder to wine-XP or wine_XP.
Now go to '/root' and delete the link '.wine'. Click on 'Menu->Utility->Wine Config' and choose Windows 7.
Go to '/root' rename '.wine' to 'wine-Win7 or wine_Win7' and move it to '/mnt/home'.
At last step you provide a link from your '/mnt/home/ wine-Win7' folder to '/root' calling it '/root .wine'.

To revert everything just delete your .wine link and discard the .wine file being produced by your new 'Menu->Utility->Wine Config' setup.
Now pick the folder you need from '/mnt/home ...' as your '/root .wine' link.

Yes, you are right - I had missed the Adobe Flash Player part. There we go now.

How to install the Adobe Flash Player 13.0.0.182 for Wine version 1.7.16?
==============================================
1) start your Puppy Linux SeaMonkey/Firefox browser and download the Flash Player Installer for Windows from here:
--> http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/fl ... player.exe File size: 17.1 MB
2) save this file to drive c: of your Wine installation
3) install your windows browser to Wine
4) click on the Flash Player Installer.exe to execute the install process
5) go to 'Menu->Utility->Wine Control Panel' - the Flash Player icon will tell you that the installation went well
6) start your Wine internet browser and check if Flash works on youtube
7) please don't forget to power off your PC to restart

How to check if your Flash Player works?
=========================
go right there and check: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glfgb3vW ... 8mLjI4ofhA

my attempt at compiling wine-1.7.17

wine-1.7.17-i486_v1.2.pet _______ puppy 431 | stripped=false | mirrors

If you are not going to submit bug reports to WineHQ, I recommend packages that are 'stripped=true'
If you are going to submit bug reports to WineHQ, I recommend packages that are 'stripped=false'
When submitting bug reports to WineHQ, it appears a 'stripped=false' Wine provides more information than a 'stripped=true' Wine. [references]

puppy 431 ->

I compiled using puplet: Puppies 4.31.1 by forum member 'ttuuxxx'
_________ mirrors _________
/distro/4.3__1/puppies-431.1-main-Xserver.iso
/distro/4.3__1/devx_430.sfs

This puplet uses glibc 2.6.1
The Wine files listing 'puppy 431' will possibly not work with a glibc before 2.6.1
To see what glibc your puppy has.
