Installing Office 365 on WINE

Question

I need to use Microsoft Office for a class I'm taking, and I can't use an alternative. I'm running WINE 4.5, Ubuntu 19.10, and PlayOnLinux 4.3.4, and I have access to the installer executable and installer disc image.

Each time I double-click the executable in either the image or the installer, it starts up and gets stuck on this screen for about a minute, and it crashes. I try to set this up in PlayOnLinux, and the same happens.

You wont get an answer here as this will require thorough knowledge of wine and office 365. WineHQ is a better place to ask about this. As a reference see for instance https://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?t=29676 and https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=35527&iTestingId=98964 "I need to use Microsoft Office for a class I'm taking, and I can't use an alternative" still no reason to use WINE. If you want a working office 365 use Windows. Virtualbox if you want to run it inside Linux. Less hassle and a far more superior experience. — Rinzwind, Jan 07 '20 at 14:25

You can use KVM instead of WINE to run windows on you linux machine. I find it better than Virtualbox

So, I'd need a full installation of Windows, right? – CStafford-14 Jan 07 '20 at 15:23
I can't find KVM. Is it qemu-kvm? – CStafford-14 Jan 07 '20 at 15:26
yesh but as a virtual machine. read this post to know more about it https://linuxconfig.org/install-and-set-up-kvm-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux – Zeapherine Islary Jan 07 '20 at 15:26
Excellent! I'll try that out. – CStafford-14 Jan 07 '20 at 18:39
