To comment on the following update, log in, then open the issue: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4729 --- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Apr 24 05:00:12 -0700 2005 --- The purpose of this issue is to increase the usability of installation on Windows. Therefore, I suggest we do not add unneccessary UI steps (and thus localisation needs). AFAIK Martins checkin asks the user where he/she wants to unpack the installation files. My attached NSIS script silently, unpacks the installation files to s subdirectory in the $TEMP directory and launches setup.exe. The utility that opens and handles MSI files is Windows Installer. Windows Installer is bundled in Windows XP and Windows 2000. The latest version (2.0) is already bundled in Windows XP but can be downloaded for Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4 and 2000. This means that any XP or 2000 user can doubleclick a single MSI file and it will launch the installer without the need for setup.exe etc. Windows 9x users may already have the Windows Installer installed without knowing. I am favoring moving to a single MSI file or alternatively using a silent NSIS wrapper. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

If the service is not found or if it is too old, the setup.exe installs the instmsi* files that are also located in the installation set. Only then the service can be started with the database and the required transformation (in multilingual installation sets). For multilingual installation sets the setup.exe additionally determines the language, in which the setup is started. In my opinion we cannot create installation sets without setup.exe, setup.ini, instmsi*. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

The point is that some people know they have Windows Installer installed, and it would be simpler to give those people a single msi rather than requiring them to download a zipfile, unzip it, and then run the installer. I'm also pretty sure that WISE and InstallShield allow you to include the instmsi files in a single executable with the msi bundled into it, so presumably this could be possible here as well (using NSIS or suchlike). From what I recall the setup.exe reads the Windows locale to decide which language to launch the installer in. Is that correct? Is there no native Windows Installer support for determining the correct language? - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

The SO8 beta wrapper introduces an additional extract to what directory dialog while the script I attached to this issue is silent and thus doesn't need additional translation. Before I go any further I would like Sun to comment on what approach should be taken: 1) SO and OOo should have different NSIS wrappers 2) SO and OOo should align the NSIS wrappers a) - and it should be the wrapper introduced in SO8 beta b) - and it should be the silent wrapper c) - and lets talk about it Reassigning to mh for a comment. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

OOo 2.0 is based on MSI and the install files are CAB archives - not ZIP. That means that there really isn't a lot to gain in compression. But usability is still an issue. LZWA compression could be turned on if it is possible to create noncompressed CAB archives during the build process. I should probably add that the attached script is global meaning there are no need for localisation what so ever.
