Yep I get

$ /home/../.playonlinux/wine/linux-x86/1.2.3/bin/wine winepath -w $PW
bash: /home/../.playonlinux/wine/linux-x86/1.2.3/bin/wine: No such file or directory

How is that possible ? ;)

Try

$HOME/.playonlinux/wine/linux-x86/1.2.3/bin/wine winepath -w $PWD

Sorry I tried that again, the line should be /home/./PlayOnLinux/wine/../ now I get nothing when I type that in. I also tried opening a file with a name with no spaces and it opens !

But any file name with spaces doesn't open.

I tried that new one I get

$HOME/.PlayOnLinux/wine/linux-x86/1.2.3/bin/wine winepath -w $PWD
err:mshtml:check_version Could not open VERSION file
err:mshtml:check_version Could not open VERSION file
Could not load wine-gecko. HTML rendering will be disabled.
wine: configuration in '/home/../.wine' has been updated.
Z:\\media\\sda7\\Documents

Just updated to 4.0.11 had to run the command again, now I can't open any files from file manager.

But running this opened the file with no spaces from the command line

$ playonlinux --run "Microsoft Word 2007" "$(winepath -w $PWD)/Document.docx"

OK this looks more promising

$ playonlinux --run "Microsoft Word 2007" "$(winepath -w $PWD)\\Document.docx"
err:menubuilder:WinMain unknown option -a
err:menubuilder:WinMain unknown option -r

This opened the document.

I tried this command again since the path looks right now and I get

$ playonlinux --run "$PWD/Document.docx"
bash: /home/../.PlayOnLinux/shortcuts//media/sda7/Documents/Document.docx: No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove `*': No such file or directory

What the hell is going on ?

Hi linuxdudeguy,

Do you have any solution on this problem?

Hi linuxdudeguy,

Do you have any solution on this problem?

Yep, install Ubuntu. It just works, open with the option "Open With Microsoft Office Word".

I have the same problem. When I run

playonlinux --run "Microsoft Word 2007" DOCUMENT


which: no shasum in (/usr/lib/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin)

and the document opens in blank in a new document.

Any help?

I have the same problem,

I installed Office 2007 with PlayOnLinux succesfully and it runs great. I used

playonlinux --run "Microsoft Word 2007" z:%f

in the custom open with... command to be able to launch my .doc files with a double click in my file manager. It works well for filenames without spaces, but when the filename contains a space, it tries to open each word as a separate file.
ex: My Doc Document.doc Word tries to open My , Doc , Document.doc and gives a file not found error for each.

Is there any syntax to express whatever %f links to as one file?

Thanks

Edit: I'm running lubuntu 11.10, DE is LXDE and file manager is PCmanF

Hi, Ihad the same problem and found wht seems to be the solution...

Go to your "~/.PlayOnLinux/shortcuts" folder and open the shortcut you want to change, in my example "Microsoft Office Powerpoint 2007" and change:

$@

to:

"$(echo "$@" | sed -e 's:C:Z:' -e 's:/*/:\\\\:g')"

Now You can use:

playonlinux --run "Microsoft Word 2007" Z:%F

It works for me on ubuntu 11.10

I also created a .desktop file on /usr/share/applications with this (this is for Powerpoint I named it mspowerpoint.desktop without spaces to avoid problems):

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Microsoft Office Powerpoint 2007
GenericName=Game
Comment=PlayOnLinux
Type=Application
Exec=/usr/share/playonlinux/playonlinux --run "Microsoft Office Powerpoint 2007" Z:%F
Icon=/home/unkuiri/.PlayOnLinux//icones/full_size/Microsoft Office Powerpoint 2007
Categories=PlayOnLinux;
Name[pt_PT]=Microsoft Office Powerpoint 2007

Thanks Unkuiri,

That worked for most files except ones with a capital C in the filename. The error always shows instead of 'Colour.doc' file couldn't open. It says 'Zolour.doc' couldn't open. That's why it's not opening the file correctly.

Weird. Any idea why it's happening ?

Hi,
The solution is a simple one, just change 's:C:Z:' to 's;C:;Z:;'
Sorry, the error was mine..hope this helps, let me know if that works..

This problem is fixed for 4.1.4
