Yes, Thanks to Joost and also Marcus for having more advice on the download page under preparation.
For future situations like this, and general trouble-shooting for Windows users, I think we need some good web pages (perhaps on one of the Wikis or the site itself) that demonstrate how to accomplish the various prerequisites. Then a README could link to them. There are a variety of tips and FAQ that would make working with AOO on Windows more reliable as well as give users more confidence in maintaining AOO on Windows. I have set that as a project for myself when I end my term as Chair and can have different kinds of fun thereafter [;<). Joost, did not the explanation at step (10) on using the automated procedure deal with Administrative Privilege on an useful as-needed basis? There clearly needs to be more information on what those messages look like and how to take action. With the spread of differences from Windows XP to Windows 10 (and now, with the Anniversary Edition update), there is little more that can be done in a README. - Dennis > -----Original Message----- > From: Marcus [mailto:marcus.m...@wtnet.de] > Sent: Sunday, August 14, 2016 09:15 > To: dev@openoffice.apache.org > Subject: Re: [TESTING] Applying openoffice-4.1.2-patch1 for Windows > > Am 08/14/2016 05:26 PM, schrieb Joost Andrae: > > Hi, > > > > I've installed the patch from > > > >>>>>> > >>>>>> The material is available at > >>>>>> <http://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/openoffice/4.1.2- > >>>>> patch1/binaries/Windows>. > >>>>> > > > > into my Win7Pro AOO 4.1.2 installation.
