If you’re trying to run Visio 2003 in Wine, and you’re getting the “IOPL not enabled” error message (or it hangs at the splash screen), try this:
- Make sure you’re running the latest version of Wine. (The latest stable version at the time of writing is version 1.0.)
- Type
winecfgin a terminal. Go to the Libraries tab, and add an entry calledgdiplus. Then, edit the entry you just added, and select “Native (Windows)”. Do not select “Native then Builtin” — that doesn’t work (for some reason)!
I thought I’d post this, because I spent absolutely ages trying to get this working, because Google failed me. Hopefully this post will get some Google juice.
Thanks a lot friend
It works
That worked for me with MS Visio 2003 under Ubuntu 9.04 with Wine 1.0.1. Thanks a lot !!!
Fedora 11/Wine 1.1.29/WORKS!!!
Thanks a lot Jeremy. Thanks Google.
Thanks!!!!!!!!!
Thanks !!! Works for me to !! Debian testing / KDE4
I’ve tried it with Wine 1.1.31 and Karmic (9.10). Excel works fine (macros too) but still cannot get Visio running. I also can’t run Word and Excel at the same time – get IOPL error. Any ideas?
Nope, sorry. Haven’t tried this in a long while, so it may well have regressed. Does it work in Wine 1.0 instead?

I managed to install Office 2003 and Visio SP3 Office seems to install and patch well under wine 0952, but it works much better with latest wine So
2) install office 2003 (wine setupexe) 3) [optional] install office-mui (if you need it) 4) install visio 5) install service pack 3
Thanks..
working perfectly in Ubuntu 9.10
That worked like a charm.
I am using ubuntu karmik (9.20) and wine 1.1.31.
Thanks!
