I have office 2010, 2013 and 2016 and when I run it with wine I get an error when I click install. I'm new to Linux please help me

The error

Transcript of error:

User runs Office 2016 setup file (O16Setup.exe)

Wine error message pops up with title Program Error.

The program setup.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

This can be caused by a problem in the program or a deficiency in Wine. You may want to check the Application Database for tips about running this application.

PlayOnLinux can handle installation settings for you.

Download install files from here and install it.

When you run it, you can select "Install" and there is an option to install Office. It will guide you to install Office using the executable setup file and take care of many settings for you that you would otherwise have to do manually with wine alone.

They also have an extensive list of software that shows what is compatible with POL, as well as some user workarounds for programs that have issues installing.
