Then how about not dropping the line, but instead, if the file is missing, print a big fat warning, something like "you can't deploy your stuff on Windows as is, unowinreg.dll is missing, see <link to docs>, get it from http://api.openoffice.org/source/browse/api/odk/source/unowinreg/win/ (Windows C++ source) or http://api.openoffice.org/source/browse/api/odk/bin/win/ (precompiled dll)"

And note that there are extensions which are perfectly able to use openoffice.org-dev without unowinreg.dll (on Linux, though, no idea about Windows and whether C++ stuff also needs it, I don't think so, so use C++ or get unowinreg.dll)
The file is there to provide Java access to the Windows registry, so that your code can find the place where OOo was installed (the last time). No registry on Unix -> file not needed. And for a Windows C++ extension, you'll need a Windows OOo SDK anyway. Regards, Martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
