I am trying to install Microsoft Office Pro 2010 on Ubuntu 13.04 using Wine. I have read several threads and everybody seems to be able to do this but me. So I am giving a shoutout for help. I tried the process taking screenshots of each step. I would post them but evidently I'm not popular enough to be allowed the luxuary of sharing my woes with my fellow Ubuntu-ers. Any suggestions on how to get Office up and running would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!  Here are the steps that I took (without screenshots):   Downloaded the installer.  Right click and click run with Wine Windows Program Loader Unpacking the files Entered the product key, it was validated, and clicked Continue Accept the licensing agreement,and click Continue Click Install Now Waiting... And boom, the error. It just says that the installer has encountered an error. It gives the same result every time.   Again, ANY help is greatly appreciated. THANKS!

My current preferred C++ environment is the free and largely excellent Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Express edition. From time to time I have sent release .exe files to other people with pleasing results. However recently I made the disturbing discovery that the pleasing results were based on more luck that I would like. Attempting to run one of these programs on an old (2001 vintage, not scrupulously updated) XP box gave me nothing but a nasty "System cannot run x.exe" (or similar) message.  Some googling revealed that with this toolset, even specifying static linking results in a simple hello-world.exe actually relying on extra .dll files (msvcm80.dll etc.). An incredibly elaborate version scheming system (manifest files anyone?) then will not let the .exe run without exactly the right .dll versions. I don't want or need this stuff, I just want an old fashioned self contained .exe that does nothing but lowest common denominator Win32 operations and runs on any old win32 OS.  Does anyone know if its possible to do what I want to do with my existing toolset ?  Thank you.

I have an executable program (no source code, just the compiled executable) that was made in windows (.exe extension).  It doesn't use any graphics... it simply reads and writes files.  I want to be able to run it in a linux shell script so that I don't have to switch operating systems to get my output.  Is there a way to use or convert the executable for linux operating systems?

As most of you know, in the Microsoft Store, there are . This means that on Windows I can emulate Ubuntu and have the Ubuntu command line directly on Windows.  The question is very easy: what can’t I do from the Ubuntu command line emulated in Windows that I can do on a proper Linux-based Ubuntu? Is it useful to download this Ubuntu application, install it, and work just with it instead of the real OS? Is it possible to install all the development libraries? Can I write (or not) device drivers? In other words: what are the limits?  What features of Ubuntu Linux-based are missing from Ubuntu-on-Windows?  New answers are welcome: I know that every software is always changing by improving characteristics and features!

What are ways to install/uninstall programs in Ubuntu. I will mention only .deb since it is the official package format and for example installing a .sh or .run program can typically be as simple as (In latest Ubuntu) ./program.sh or sh program.run.  Also note that am talking about HOW to install packages IN Ubuntu, not talking about downloading a new installer (Like some Super Cow Software Center Duke Nukem version from sourceforge or something). Only tools that already come in the repositories (In any of the 4 standard ones, main, universe, restricted or multiverse).  Take into consideration all GUI and terminal ways of doing it, with basic format of doing the installation. With this in mind I am talking for example about Software Center, synaptic, apt-get, aptitude, dpkg, etc... a way to show all tools that are available in Ubuntu to install deb packages.  NOTE - Forgot, this should be Community Wiki since it will have all ways a user can install/uninstall something. Like a friendly guide on doing that.  UPDATED question to remove the confusion some are having about sh/run files.
