------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Oct 18 09:43:11 -0700 2006 ------- OK, the command line switches are somewhat useful for us admins - however, I don't expect to be instructing Grandma how to install OOo with command line switches anytime soon! I understand the need for an msi package. I understand the need to re-wrap this msi package for download. I understand that the OOo community has decided to include unnecessary but useful repair mechanisms (thereby bloating the install). I don't understand why "critical" OOo files are placed on the user's Desktop by default (who came up with this idea???). The way I install OOo is by first creating a "C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org\Setup" directory. I then instruct the NSIS installer to dump everything there. In the msi portion of the installer, I choose a custom install and remove the version number from the install path (normal users do not have multiple versions of the same software on the same PC, but they do frequently have shortcuts to their software which break when paths change). Would it be possible to select the path you wish to use for installation in the NSIS portion of the installer (with a sane default), and then pass that info into the msi portion of the installer so that everything is installed where you want it (and you only have to choose a path once)?
