That is an option as well. But what is the issue on adding this binary

none of both problems are my concern. what I have got in mind is a 
solution that works for everyone.

I could unzip the files, but for each release, I have to remember to

have been update, and as long as I add "officeop.bat" on the scripts 
openoffice gets installed.
