Hi Tora,
Thanks for your replies and suggestions. However, I do not want to start soffice.exe as a normal user account as I would need the user account password or wait for a user logon. I realised the problem running a OO service as SYSTEM is that: "the service runs as a special account and OpenOffice.org will try to show the license agreement dialog as if it was a new user instead of starting the application." "To avoid this, you need to edit share\registry\data\org\openoffice\Setup.xcu (it's an XML file) inside the OpenOffice.org installation directory and replace this bit" This is the article that explains it: http://www.artofsolving.com/node/11 Cheers, Wei Min > Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2009 20:09:00 +0900 > From: t...@openoffice.org > To: dev@openoffice.org > CC: d...@api.openoffice.org > Subject: [api-dev] Re: [dev] Openoffice automation using a service > > Sorry for multiple emails. > > If you attempt to use the following way, the user account for (1) and (2) > must be identical.
