Then use he OpenOffice that is portable and it can be put/moved
anywhere.

Subject: [users] OpenOffice install


Why can't users change the location of where OpenOffice gets installed?
I don't want programs on my C: drive. I keep that for the OS only so I
can keep an image and do an easy restore. I install programs on a
separate logical drive and keep my program data on a 3rd drive so I can
back that up fast. I've been wasting my time editing all the registry
entries OO did to point it in the right direction - where I manually
moved it.

I consider this a showstopper for windows people and will not be
recommending OO to them. I've used linux for the last 5 years and cannot
remember hitting the same wall with any other windows application when I
was using windows since maybe Win95 first came out. Every other program
allows the user to choose the directory where it should be installed.
And to not find this option in OO much stunned me.

Please don't copy bad Windows programming.
