Hi,
Hoping someone can help me with this.
At the moment I seem unable to install a copy of OOo ( m_220, M_221, and
now m_222 ) that includes the Report Builder. ( That is the correct name
now is it not? )
What I did was this. This is under Windows XP by the way.
I installed 2.3m_220 and noticed that only the primary user account on
my machine was setup with the ReportDesigner. ( I entered an issue about
this )
Then I used the extension manager to add in the copy of
ReportDesigner.oxt that I had last retrieved from the CWS area into the
other user accounts on my machine.
Once this was done I started seeing differences with the reports being
run by different user accounts.
Checking the version numbers of the now different report designers in
the different user configurations I found that the account used to do
the install showed a version number of
0.1.3 ( I believe, that is from memory, so suspect ) and the
configurations where I installed the oxt file directly carried a version
number of 0.5.0.
Attempting to clean this up I removed all copies of the report designer
from all user configurations using the extension manager, then ran the
setup program again and asked it to repair the installation.
Report designer was not re-installed.
At this point I needed to drop this for a few days, returning to it
briefly m-221 was available. I downloaded that and installed it. Once
again no copy of report designer was installed.
Another brief period passed and m-222 was available. This time I
completely removed OOo from my machine. ( ran un-install, deleted all
directories [ shared and user ] and removed all entries in the registry )
I installed the m_222 snapshot build on what should have been a clean
machine. Nope, still no report designer.
OK - first, in catching up with my emails I see that the version number
difference was a non-issue as this was intentional - new version numbers
used with the integration into the main source tree.
I also found mention of the new name "Sun Report Builder", but that is
neither here nor there for this problem, I think?
I want to install the report designer manually, but where the dickens
can I find it?
Searching the OOo program directories finds nothing that looks like the file
I have searched through the cab files in the installation files and
can't find anything that looks like a candidate for the file.
So - where do I find the file that will let me install the actual
extension? Am I just blind?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Drew Jensen
