You should do it differently. Copy the whole OOo directory in your "application data" folder somewhere else and change the "bootstrap.ini" file to point to the new location. If you copied everything to "C:\" you now should have a folder named "c:\OpenOffice.org2". So you have to change the "UserInstallation" line in the bootstrap.ini file to UserInstallation="file:///C:/OpenOffice.org2" Be sure that neither OOo nor the quickstarter are running while you edit the file. Now start OOo. If everything looks fine you can remove your folder in "application data". Of course this manipulation of bootstrap.ini only works if you don't need different user profiles for several users using the same installation.
