you have to change the bootstrap.ini in the program directory before the
first start of the user. There's no way to manipulate the msi-file.
thanks, this will help me for the moment, but i still wish the the oo 1.1.5
handling
or a similar handling as i know from Firefox/Thunderbird, having a profiles.ini
in
%APPDATA%, pointing to the user profile ... making it easier to reinstall
Windows
for example without saving the oo userprofiles first ...
You can restore the OOo 1.1.5 handling and have a profiles.ini in
%APPDATA% point to the user profile.
Take a look at the bootstrap.ini in OOo 1.1.5. The mechanism for this
indirection is still there.
But OOo won't create that profile.ini or the former sversion.ini for you
any more, so this is of limited use unless you find another way to
automate creation of that file.
It also seems, that there is no way to use environment varibles inside the
bootstrap.ini,
which will prevent me creating a multi user environment like
UserInstallation=file:///e:/profiles/oo20/%USERNAME%/user
It supports bootstrap arguments. These arguments are retrieved from
various sources, including environment variables. See
<http://udk.openoffice.org/common/man/concept/micro_deployment.html>.
The platform-independent notation used is $VARIABLE, so
UserInstallation=file:///e:/profiles/oo20/$USERNAME should work. (BTW:I
don't think you want to append '/user', as the office does this itself.)
That document unfortunately doesn't cover the indirection-syntax in
mentioned above. It is
${<file>:<section>:<variable>} [for INI-style files], or
${<file>:<variable>} [for reading as bootstrap argument]
I also noticed, that you *have* to use an URL, otherwise the unopkg fails ...
And so does soffice (last I tried)...
This isn't really a public interface meant for users that can't cope
with URL syntax.
I am thinking about to open an RFE for this ...
For what?
For various reasons there is close to no chance that the URL-requirement
can be changed. Nor should it, IMNSHO. And you can use environment
variables even now (unless they conflict with one of the internally
defined bootstrap variables).
HTH, Jörg
