Hi,
This is my first scripts for Play on Linux.
I recently had to install Powerpoint viewer so I though this would be a good way to get my hands dirty.
All seems to work fine so far.
Any testers can give me any feedback?

Wine version: 1.1.24
Distribution: Ubuntu 9.04
Distribution Jaunty 32 bits
Comments: This script will download and install Microsoft Powerpoint viewer 2003.

Thanks

Hi,

your script needs some improvements. You may wish to check this script and treat it as a guide

Many thanks for your feedback.
I am still new to this, so please forgive any bad coding.

I have tested my new script with the ideas that you have send it and it works fine.
Please any testers look over this.

You also should make something with "Program Files" directory. What to do is also mentioned in link i gave earlier.
