My hosting company has been trying to install OpenMeetings 1.9 for the past two weeks and could not get it to work properly. They tried several operating systems. From following this discussion it's obvious that the install process for OpenMeetings is far too complicated. I'd like to use OM for my project but the cost in time and money to get it to the point where one can evaluate it for a project is just too high. I believe you really need to address this issue if you want OM to have any kind of major following. Can anyone help?

It can be handy to install also the ms-corefonts package.
