you need to use the undocumented parameter :-env:UserInstallation it is documented in at least one web page.
If you can't find it just tell me and I will have a look. You need to install openoffice at least once, then copy the user directory that was generated where ever you want (be sure it is not too deep or you may get errors.) Then give the path to the userinstallation. As long as OpenOffice can find the user installation directory you will not get the registration window, and it will find it with that property. If you are using windows be sure to substitute all \ for / for example: C:\buildtestga\A12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456\plugins\com.heiler.ppm.openoffice.core.win32_1.0.0\os\win32\x86\OO\program\soffice -env:UserInstallation=file:///C:/buildtestga/A12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/oo This example also illustrates the maximum depth when you have an existing user directory. --- Hal Vaughan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have a situation where I have to install OOo on a > series of systems.
