I've found the "recreate cxoffice menus" button in cxoffice setup, which has recreated the file, but I still have no menu options for MS Office or IE. I have also tried to install WordPerfect Office 2000 and I have menu items for this under the applications folder, but the Windows Applications folder I had in the menu when 4.0.0 was installed locally is still missing.

If I mount the cdrom from Linux this problem goes away. 

This isn't necessary for a normal install.

that file seems to be practically empty.

The simulated reboot did not increase the size of icons.db and 'find found precisely nothing.

There might be an answer in there, but it's 2200 lines long and nothing strikes me as obviously relevant.

I've extracted all the lines with "err" in, as the most likely ones to contain some kind of clue.

No, I've tried simulated reboots and they've made no obvious difference.

Only IE6 and Office 2000.

That mostly worked. I got an error about not being able to initialise the 
cache, apparently from the IE5 component of the office 2K install. In spite 
of that things seem at first glance to be working OK.
