RE: [libreoffice-users] Bug 62303 - Enhancement request: Set default install folder under Windows to \LibreOffice\

2013-03-13 Thread V Stuart Foote
The Wiki notes on doing the administrative installation are at this link., 
Along with  a link to Florian Reisinger's LibreOffice Server Installation GUI  
extension for doing parallel administrative installs while avoiding Windows 
command line and msiexec.exe.  Currently for Windows OS's only.

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel#Administrativ_Installation:

Florian will have to address any issues of a non-versioned default installation 
folder on his installer extension. But should not be much of a problem.

Dan,

Would cause no change for Windows OS installations.  You'd still have to do 
msiexec.exe /A administrative installation each of which registers its own 
LibreOffice user profile and minimal Windows registry entries. So, you can have 
one "full" installation,  and multiple functional but not fully integrated 
/Administrative installations. Just as it has been.

  Just a question: How will this change affect installing multiple
versions of LibreOffice?

Advantage of placing into a non-versioned installation folder for Windows OS is 
that established configurations and function of 3rd party extensions will 
remain intact across version upgrades.

Expect minimal impact on installation or bundled extensions and Windows 
registry and LibreOffice registry and user profile.  Potential impact on 
migrating user profiles during upgrade, and possibly on 3rd party extensions.
