The forum

Okay, the installation in a new prefix was just an idea.

The thing with the "eval_gettext" I'll try to remember next time. So it was my first POL script and also my first thread.

The dirty code does create a .reg file. This file then is permanent created within the prefix and is used before one of the office executables is used.
With the "sed" command the variable "VLRenewalSchedule" of the user.reg should be copied and directly added into the new .reg file "VLRenew.reg". Since "sed" is directly included into the kernel and in the form I used it also completely usable in MAC-OS I thought this is a good idea. How else could this be done?

We could generate a .reg file and apply it each time before running Office 2k10 ?

Why? Are there any advantages of this? This .reg file is always the same and by the way it does not hurt anybody I think.

This .reg file is always the same.

It's not proved.

Another issue is that sed does not really work so much on OSX, so we prefer avoid to use it.

Eventually, I can ask you the same question: Why using sed while there is a clean tool in wine to perform such a thing?

Is there a clean POL function for removing prefix and all shortcuts?

Hello.
Sorry for leaving the discussion for a while now, but I had plenty of stuff to do the last few weeks.

Well, I tried to insert all your comments in the MSO2010 installation script. I also noticed that the line to generate the .reg file we were discussing before is not necessary.
Here is the result of the new script:

I made all possible tests and found no further problems.
But please, tell me if modification has to be done.

Be careful, I've changed things in the script since the last post :)

Okay, inserted your changes. Further remarks?

Another idea (sorry for always changing my mind)

Why not making a separate script for activation? So that people could see directly it

Hm, yes this might help people to find the activation easier. But then we should also find people who have time to extend this script for different other activation procedures. I can prepare this script and give possibilities to extend it. If only KMS volume activation is possible the script should only get this name.
If someone who read this threat know some activation procedures beside KMS volume activation, please let me know!
I only need to know what has to be done. Programming then is not a big deal.

Kicked out everything that does not belong to activation the script looks like following:

Ok it looks good! Just check that office 2k10 is installed and then you can send it to validation :)

Oh, right. I deleted too much. How can I send it to validation?

Okay. Changed it.

Thanks.

Thank you for your work :)

Since MS Office deletes the key "[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-20\Software\Microsoft\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform]" after every shutdown I modified the Shortcut of each Office 2010 Product that can be run under Wine:

#!/bin/bash
[ "$PLAYONLINUX" = "" ] && exit 0
source "$PLAYONLINUX/lib/sources"
export WINEPREFIX="/home/paulo/.PlayOnLinux//wineprefix/Office2010"
export WINEDEBUG="-all"
#POL_Log=Microsoft Office 2010

cd "/home/paulo/.PlayOnLinux//wineprefix/Office2010/"
echo "[HKEY_USERS\\S-1-5-20\\Software\\Microsoft\\OfficeSoftwareProtection]" > VLRenew.regedit
sed -n -e '/VLRenewalSchedule/,/^$/p' user.reg >> VLRenew.reg
echo "\"Enable\"=\"Y\"" >> VLRenew.reg
POL_Wine regedit.exe VLRenew.reg
sleep 2

cd "/home/paulo/.PlayOnLinux//wineprefix/Office2010/drive_c/./Program Files/Microsoft Office/Office14"
if [ -z "$@" ]; then
     POL_Wine "WINWORD.EXE"
else
     POL_Wine "WINWORD.EXE" z:"${@//\//\\}"

For running Excel, Outlook, OneNote, and Powerpoint change the last lines to the specific executables. By the way, the last lines are very helpful when you want to start Office files out of any linux file browser. Otherwise in my case some errors were prompted by MS Office 2010.

I Was thinking about how can I use this script to start Office 2010 I have under wine without POL. My Office 2010 works nice but I can't activate it. It's installed in a wineprefix at: $HOME/.local/share/wineprefixes/office2010pro/
I call it with this script:

#!/bin/bash
# Word 2010
env WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.local/share/wineprefixes/office2010pro" wine C:\\windows\\command\\start.exe /Unix $HOME/.local/share/wineprefixes/office2010pro/dosdevices/c:/Program\ Files/Microsoft\ Office/Office14/WINWORD.EXE
#
done
exit 0;
