this is probably because you have to specify *where* to unpack. Why?
Because installer will not only install the OOo, but it will unpack the
installation set that is not to be deleted after unpacking. Solving this is
2.0.1 IMO because it is a mess - please further comments in

Firefox-users (because Firefox downloads to desktop) and probably many
other IE-users will extract the installation files to desktop, install
OOo and then clean up the desktop again (or Windows will offer to do it
eventually).
If we want to prevent the user from deleting the installation files I
suggest we per default extract them in Windows' $TEMP instead.
It is not uncommon for applications to leave installation files in $TEMP
on Windows.
Sysadmins that want to extract to a specific directory can use a command
line option.
If we opt to extract to $TEMP per default and offer a command line
option we don't need a GUI for NSIS at all. Scrapping the NSIS gui
happens to solve several issues and limit the need for user interaction.
