IMNSHO, it would seem that UK Test had a good point in the first place.
The default install should so place the temp install files that it is
least likely to irritate IT departments everywhere. It's fine to point
out that you can have the temp install put somewhere else, but someone
who is wise enough to change the default will also be wise enough to
remove the temp install folder from his desktop.

Not quite sure where to post suggestions as I have
already completed the registration questionnaire - I
installed 2.0.3 on W2K sucessfully yesterday but I
have noticed today that it created what seems to be a
temp install directory on my desktop with 96Mb of
files in there. If you don't want to be cursed by IT
depts everywhere (or at least those who allow users to
install their own software) then the desktop is not a
good place to use for the temp install files as it
will copy back to the server if roaming profiles are
used - IMHO it would be better (and more appropriate)
to use the windows temp directory.... =8)
Interesting. When I unpack on XP Pro, I am given an opportunity to
change the Destination Folder from the default.
I tried this a couple of times on W2K and AFAICT was given the choice of
where to put the installation files but not where to put the actual
files. Fortunately the default happens to be "Program Files"

Please use a custom installation if you want OOo to install other than
in the standard places. This option provides this opportunity.
