------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Nov 30 06:22:09 -0800 2005 ------- OOo setup hangs at the screen that says "Computing space requirements" when run with the /a switch in a Windows installation. (As I understand it, the /a switch is meant to disable all system integration, although the only documentation I can find is that which was discussed on the qa-dev email list.) I experienced this problem with both 2.0 and 2.0.1RC1 using Windows XP, SP2 in a Novell network environment. I was not installing OOo via the network; it was a local install. Steps to reproduce: 1) Download OOo installer (2.0 or 2.0.1RC1) 2) Run installer. (Double-click on it or whatever.) 3) Click "Next" The installer will now ask you where to unpack temporary files. 4) Point installer to the location of your choice. On the qa-dev list it was suggested to use a location without spaces in the name. I chose C:\OOo-installer\ 5) Continuing will automatically lauch setup. Cancel setup at this point. 6) Start menu > Run... "C:\OOo-installer\setup.exe /a" (without quotes). This launches the installer again with the /a switch in order to avoid system integration (so as to have multiple versions of OOo installed simultaneously for testing purposes) 7) OOo setup starts, but immediately hangs on the screen that says "Computing space requirements." Even after 30+ minutes the installer hasn't moved from that screen. Clicking cancel at this point will bring up the "Are you sure you want to cancel?" dialog, but clicking yes at this dialog does not actually cause setup to cancel. It stays hung. I haven't confirmed this yet because I don't know whether it's just a fluke on my system or if others have experienced it too. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
