After installing the Sun Presentation Minimizer extension, two errors occur in
the Windows Event Viewer after every boot. The pertinent error message is (in
German):

"Die Datei C:\Dokumente und
Einstellungen\knapp_r\Anwendungsdaten\OpenOffice.org\3\user\uno_packages\cache\registry\com.sun.star.comp.deployment.configuration.PackageRegistryBackend\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office\extension\SunPresentationMinimizer.xcu
konnte nicht nach \\ARTWEGER04\VOL1\US\knapp_r\Windows NT 5.1 Workstation
Profile\Anwendungsdaten\OpenOffice.org\3\user\uno_packages\cache\registry\com.sun.star.comp.deployment.configuration.PackageRegistryBackend\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office\extension\SunPresentationMinimizer.xcu
kopiert werden. Mögliche Fehlerursachen sind Netzwerkprobleme oder nicht
ausreichende Sicherheitsrechte. Wenden Sie sich an den Netzwerkadministrator,
wenn das Problem weiterhin besteht. 

 Details - Der Dateiname oder die Erweiterung ist zu lang."

This means the path name is too long. The path referred to is:
C:\Dokumente und
Einstellungen\knapp_r\Anwendungsdaten\OpenOffice.org\3\user\uno_packages\cache\registry\com.sun.star.comp.deployment.configuration.PackageRegistryBackend\registry\data\org\openoffice\Office\extension\SunPresentationMinimizer.xcu

This is obviously longer than the acceptable Windows path name length.

The error message occurs when using roaming profiles.

Our workaround is to use the following undocumented command line parameter:
soffice -env:UserInstallation=file:///c:/oo

The problem is theroretically not limited to this extension but rather applies
to all extensions that use very long path names.

The problem may not occur under English operating systems because the standard
user folders may have shorter names in English.
