Hi Ariel,

Yes, desktop integration is rarely needed. Don't know when I last time
installed one with system integration ...

Which reminds me of what I should have mentioned in my previous mail:
Try

  msiexec /a openofficedev.msi

This does a so-called administrative installation, which effectively
means the .cab files (I'm talking about Windows only here, there are
similar solutions for other platforms) are simply extracted.

Be sure to, before you run OOo the first time, adjust the
"UserInstallation" key in program/bootstrap.ini. For me, it always looks
like

  UserInstallation=$ORIGIN/..

Since $ORIGIN expands to the program directory, this means you get a
folder "user" besides the "program" folder, where "user" will take all
your user data. (Which implies if you use the same installation from
multiple Windows accounts, they will all share the user data - which is
unlike a "normal" installation.)


This procedure IMO is unbeatable when it comes to running multiple OOo
versions in parallel.

Ciao
Frank
