------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Jul 15 13:38:43 +0000 2008 ------- setup /a should install a network install, but unexpectedly requires administrator privileges. setting to p1 as it is a real showstopper in dissemination in big companies who do not give admin rights for security reasons. this seems not a duplicate to issue42768, because the proposed solution/workaround for issue42768 is to run "setup /a" (see comments there). the final problem is: issue42768 has low prio because "setup /a" exists as workaround (and nobody seems to care that it does not work, neither for oo- 2.0, nor for oo-3.0). but unfortunately "setup /a" also requires admin rights. this seems not correct as it should just copy the software to a network share and this should never require admin permissions (mainly necessary to edit the registry). compared to other windows software installers permission checks this is a bug. see also http://support.microsoft.com/kb/122522 on "removing an administrative installation" which is done by just deleting the install directory (which clearly needs no admin rights, just directory delete access).
