Visio 2007 in wine?

Hi, I am trying to install Visio 2007 in wine but im getting problems with the installer, it simply refuses to load complaining that there was an error and the installer cannot continue.

If people manage to install Office 2007 I can't get why Visio doesn't want to install, I used winetricks and installed the following in the hopes that the installer would work:

./winetricks gdiplus riched20 riched30 msxml3 msxml4 msxml6 corefonts tahoma vb6run vcrun6 msi2

I got that from a post that teched how to install office 2007 so I figured the installer would be pretty much like it, but same error, Am I missing something?

thanks in advance

wine version:
wine-1.3.2

WOW, I navigated the whole AppDB in search of something, read everything for every version of Visio, and didn't find that link you posted lol, nervertheless, I tried the suggestion on the page you sent to me (the one about the WINEPREFIX.

And I get the exact same error. Its weird cause its rated gold on wine and I can't even start the installer sad

It's rated bronze for Arch but it's from January so it's for another version of wine. You can find the old versions of Arch packages here.
You may try to contact the guy that posted the test results and ask him about any magic tricks.

Well I can test it again and If I got it to install I can become an app maintainer for this one, just contacted the ubuntu guy that gave it gold rating to ask him for any info about how to install. I will post back here when I get some more insights

Well the guy at the winehq answered (the one who got it working in Ubuntu) with a corteous "good luck installing" lol, stating he just double clicked the installer and it all worked. Gonna try different things from now on and keep you guys posted.

cheers
