> Let me now how it works out. Works, at least on WinXP running in a VMWare Player. I created a new folder in c:\Program Files\LibO and extracted the .exe there. I then followed the instructions & it seems to be running just fine. Win7 is liable to be a different beast as I've still not figured out the directory structure in Win7 (yet). One thing to note is that by installing this way you don't get the benefit of added menu items, or a desktop shortcut. So you need to of course create your own desktop shortcut which is as simple as right-clicking on the desktop etc. However, in order to get the benefit of the LibO system icons/associations/menu's etc., it might be better to do the reverse: first install LibO, and then install/reinstall standard OOo in the parallel environment. I'll modify & do that next.
