NativeMSXML3

Wine's implementation of MSXML3 isn't quite complete, so you may need to install MS's MSXML3 and use it natively. But, first, make sure you try with Wine's built-in MSXML3 and report any errors as bugs.

The easiest way to do this is with winetricks:

wget http://kegel.com/wine/winetricks
sh winetricks msxml3

You can also install msxml4 and msxml6 with winetricks as well.

The older, harder way:

  • First, install NativeDcom, then NativeMsi (the installation can also be completed without these by running the installer a second time after failing the first time, but maybe it won't install as complete because there are quite some debug err traces).

  • Download MSXML3 from here and place it somewhere where Wine can see it.

  • Set native override for msxml3 using winecfg. (Do this before installing, otherwise the builtin version is used for registering the dll.)

  • Run this command:
  • wine c:\\windows\\installer\\instmsi0\\msiexec.exe /i c:\\path\\to\\msxml3.msi
  • Follow the prompts, and you should be all set.
