#7 — AROfficeTransforms installed without error but MissingBinary: Unable to find binary "wvHtml" - so Word .doc files can not be added

Hi

I will paste the traceback separately, but briefly:

 * I have an impression that the _checks_ (for required binaries et cetera) could be, or should be, greater than they are at present.

Under http://plone.org/products/arofficetransforms/issues/6
on 7th December I recalled:

My experience now does echo that experience with a previous server.

Now:

 * ODF is transformed and previewed
 * PDF is transformed and previewed
 * Microsoft Excel .xls and PowerPoint .ppt are transormed and previewed

but

 * Microsoft Word .doc can not be added to Plone.

Workaround:

 * install wv binary, or uninstall AROfficeTransforms.

Please, continue with your fine work!

Thanks and best regards
