That's further than I got. The built-in Windows XP did not like that archive. I took Andre's hint to rename the destination top-level directory. But then on extract it complains that some files are password protected. I extracted the rest but then I get an exception when trying to run soffice. How much more effort would it be to create a Windows installer? If we want coverage by QA volunteers (and we're waiting) we'll either need installers or detailed instructions for how to get these archived builds to work. But since we're changing directories and such with the 4.0 version it probably makes sense to get the install/configure side tested early as well. -Rob > Kind regards > Regina > >
