Which version of Office are you trying to Load?
I doubt you will get 2000 to work with wine.
You could under win4lin or vmware.
Also if it is the new XP office if you look in your wine setting to where is
says
>"Filesystem" = "win95"
Xp will not run under WIN95 or Win95 emulation!!!!!!! So this setting would
not work.

It does not have a c:\windows\Profiles\Administrator directory unless you
are using 2000 or NT 4.0 sp3 and up.
There is a c:\windows\Profiles\Username\personal

I myself am not sure on this but I would not think it would be considered a
network drive
unless it is a shared drive or directory.
