Apologies if I've missed a pre-existing FAQ / knowledgebase item that addresses this...

Situation:
Installing OOo (from file:OOo_2.2.0_Win32Intel_install_wJRE_en-US.exe, build date 22/03/2007?) onto a Windows 98SE computer (PIII / 550Mhz, 128Mb RAM, Nvidia GeForce MX4000).

Problem:
There didn't appear to be any opportunity to specify the install path during the install process. I was asked where I'd like to do the unpack (that worked fine), but the installation went automatically to "C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.2\" with no opportunity for user intervention.

Since I only had about 500Mb free on C: drive, and 106Gb elsewhere, it would have been good to put the installation on D:!

I notice the existing documentation refers to a "response text file" in connection with multiple user setups, which looked like a possible mechanism for a workaround. However, the info seems more relevant to a previous version of the installer. It's not clear whether any of this transfers to the Nullsoft install engine.

Have I overlooked something obvious? Is there a workaround for this? Will it ONLY run from C: drive??

Thanks for your attention,

This happened to me yesterday. I got it to work properly on a second attempt. I now have it on my J drive. I'm a bit hazy because I was jumping about a lot, but I think it was because I went to the temp files and called setup directly that it allowed me control. hope this helps.
