Edit Reason: correct my typo - Office NOT Outlook.

Every time i applied this Outlook 2010 WinePrefix installation procedure, Konsole displayed dozens if not hundreds of nasty-looking error messages during the setup. All i can tell you is that the proof of the pudding is in the eating... despite all the errors during the installation, after the installation i can successfully run MS Office 2010 Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, Publisher, OneNote [but not Outlook - it locks up] in 2 VM Maui's, & 1 "real" Maui.
I'm a bit puzzled why you keep stopping to ask these questions... why not just keep going to the end, & then either it will work nicely for you like for Rocky & me, or it won't (in which case then we can troubleshoot].
My non-expert non-technical guess for the myriad error messages during the installation stages, is that we must remember... Outlook Office is a Windows pgm that is not being installed into a Windows OS... so i imagine there's a gazillion libraries, dlls, other stuff that are in Windows & which the setup is also expecting here, but of course cannot find them coz, well, this is not Windows. My semi-logical deduction is that despite the unpleasantness of seeing all those ugly transient errors, they cannot be showstoppers can they, otherwise we would not have this nice experience of Outlook 2010 in our Mauis. :-)
