I can also confirm that the OOO-dev 3.4 x86_install_en-US r1293550 downloaded 2012-02-28 installs perfectly on a fresh Windows 8 Consumer Preview (64 bit) running under VirtualBox 4.1.8 on Windows 7 (64 bit). The registration of start-menu entries is automatically turned into tiles on the Windows 8 Start page (see image -- the choice of dark blue default appears to be from my start page preferences). There were no error messages during install (other than warnings because the package was a download on a network share and also not signed). No errors occurred on first-run.
I successfully opened a WordPad-created ODT file containing a drawing and a small screen capture and resaved it. I was not able to Save As ... to a network share provided via the VM configuration. That may have nothing to do with AOO. I did the install from a network share. - Dennis The one annoyance is the continuing involvement of the user in choosing where the setup files are expanded. This extra step is even more dissonant on Windows 8 than on Windows XP through Windows 7, and putting such junk on the user's desktop is just awful. (In the image from that step, I have manually changed the Destination Folder.) -----Original Message----- From: Zhe Liu [mailto:aliu...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, March 01, 2012 21:47 To: ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: Test results: AOO run on Windows 8 Awesome!
