Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Portable Usb/Cloud installs of LO
My problem was I downloaded the FULL package from WinPenPack, that included a lot more than LO. It was over 1.6 GB uncompressed. The .exe to start the package kept giving me errors. So, I just did not go any farther. I downloaded the full suite version http://www.winpenpack.com/en/download.php?list.201 Here is the link to all of their offerings http://www.winpenpack.com/en/download.php#winpenpack The only question I have is what it the difference between the X-software and the Portable software that are listed in that web page.

[libreoffice-marketing] Portable Usb/Cloud installs of LO
Hi :) At the moment we recommend a 3rd party called Portable Apps but it seems they are sometimes quite slow about getting the new versions of LibreOffice onto their systems. WinPenPack seem to do the job a LOT faster and they cover every release but we don't even mention them. http://sourceforge.net/projects/winpenpack/files/X-LibreOffice/releases/ Could we have them listed as an alternative to Portable Apps? I'm not talking about a radical redesign. Just adding a list, somewhere near the bottom of the page, of links to other companies that do the same thing. Regards from Tom :) From: Pedro hidden To: us...@global.libreoffice.org Sent: Monday, 5 August 2013, 3:23 Hi Virgil Virgil Arrington wrote Now, if we can just get a new branch of LO (x.y.0) to stop overwriting an older branch (x.x.7) by default, I would a most happy man. Actually that is only true under Windows. Under Linux and Mac the default is parallel install. In any case if you prefer to play it safe don't install any new versions under Windows. Just keep your x.x.7 build installed and use a portable version from winPenPack for testing. They are usually available a day or two after the official release by TDF at http://sourceforge.net/projects/winpenpack/files/X-LibreOffice/releases/ and you can run as many as you like simultaneously.

But, I could not get it to install onto the 4 or 16 GB flash drive or now called Jump drives by Windows. I do not know if it was WinPenPacks or a different name. All I remember was that I downloaded the package/system and tried to install it to the USB jump drive and it only gave me errors and would not install, let alone run LO from it. As for the Portable Apps, well they did not take much time to come out with the 4.1.0 version. Sometimes they do not have time to release one version before the next normal install version comes out. If everyone seems to move to the 4.0.x line, then there may be little call for making a 3.6.6 or 3.6.7 version. When 4.1.3or .4 comes out, will they be making a 4.0.6 version? maybe not. If there is a marketing call for both versions of the portable system, then I would be willing to have both listed on the NA-DVD. Now that Mac PPC systems are no longer supported in the 4.1.x line, I have not problem with space on that disc and should have free space on the 4.0.x disc. Just need to be able to place a working copy on to the jump drive[s] from a Win7 Home Premium laptop, and get it to run properly from there.

Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Portable Usb/Cloud installs of LO
Hi Tom Can you please answer to krackedpress that he just needs to get a zip file from http://sourceforge.net/projects/winpenpack/files/X-LibreOffice/releases/ and unpack it anywhere on the pen drive? There is no installer for using just the portable LO (unless he wants to get the whole winPenPack stuff) Cheers, Pedro From: Kracked_P_P---webmaster webmas...@krackedpress.com To: marketing@global.libreoffice.org Sent: Monday, 5 August 2013, 17:05 Subject: Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Portable Usb/Cloud installs of LO snip / I tried to install the alternative that was talked about before.
