To comment on the following update, log in, then open the issue: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=49861 --- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Mar 8 05:39:06 -0800 2006 --- I opened an issue about this in issue 62883 (now marked a duplicate), but then I was pointed to this issue. I will therefore post comments here. If I may add some comments from a user's point of view: -To a user, I would guess that the repair thing is not their first thought. (It wasn't mine.) The first thought is, why didn't OOo delete these files? We don't need them anymore. -In other words, unzipping the files on the Desktop and then leaving them there looks to the user like OOo didn't clean up after itself. Users like me are likely to delete the files themselves to free up space. Then, the repair option won't work AND it is a nusaince to the user to have to delete the installation files manually. -Unzipping the files elsewhere hides them from the user and is acceptable. But this can still start to use up drive space quickly if the user keeps installing new versions of OOo. This is especially true for QA volunteers who install the next release every couple of weeks. 80 MB is not a lot of space, but 80*10 = 800 MB is a full CD's worth. As a QA volunteer, I can easily accumulate that much space used in 4 months of OOo development releases. Maybe a solution would be to have the installer remove previous installation files? Maybe it already does this? I always delete them myself, so I don't know, but it seems like if the installation files might be anywhere, the installer wouldn't know where to delete old installation files from. -If repair is a concern, can OOo ask up-front where OOo itself will be installed (not just where the installation files will be unzipped), then unzip the installation files to a subdirectory of the target directory? Then the installation files are always available for repair and always in a standard location. Also, the user does not have to get the unsightly files off his/her desktop. -For example, first screen shows Where would you like to install OpenOffice? and has a target C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org\. Then, the installer unzips to C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org\Repair\ and runs setup from there. Setup then installs to C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org\ automatically, without asking the user a second time where the program should be installed. I am not a programmer, so I don't know how feasable this is to do. But it would be nice for the end user to not have to worry about it. -Alternatively, you could just make it optional for the user to delete the files after installation. For an visual representation of this, see my attachment to issue 62883. Steve - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Anything else is just a pain in the ass. Looking at the fact that we currently don't have a transformation wizard for OOo, but only for SO8 (on the enterprise CD), network installation doesn't make much fun at the moment. But if getting the plain MSIs will get harder (i.e. running installer and then getting the MSIs out of the temp directory), this is no option. At least, please offer a ZIP download so one could get the MSI packages. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

It can be in the /Windows folder, or newly created /Program Files/OpenOffice.org/setup or anything that is NOT the Desktop. Q: Why ? A: Periodically, Windows XP will ask the user to clear out unused icons (documents/folders) on the Desktop (or eventually it automatically do that for the user) -- so the path will broken.

Put the plain (unzipped) msi Installer on the disk and be happy. We can prevent most of the problems named here, when making NSIS not the default: - no need to remove temporary install files - no need to write special commandline interface - easy reinstall / repair from original setup or windows control panel. But .. for the current issue: If you provide NSIS and don't want to leave setup files after installation, just make it optional and tell the user what they might be usefull for. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Only my logic tells me that installing 80+210 MB instead of 210MB is not the best solution. Yes, but it's only 33% more. We could warn the user and say something like: You can remove the unpacked installation files put directory here and gain 80 MB of harddisk space but you will lose the ability to select Change/Repair. at the end of the NSIS installation. And the only reason being critial case of corrupted installation and the fact that the installation can be Reapired/Modified from the new run of NSIS .exe file. can't ? Yes, that is unfortunate. I really don't care that much about the extra harddisk space and I think the majority of users will not download the nsis package but install the release version from some CDs/DVDs that inevitably will be found in computer magazines. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

It does not require new ui strings. For example if we specify /remove options for the installer it will remove the unpacked installation package... AFAIU the current situation is when you specify: /S runs the installer or uninstaller silently. See section 4.12 for more information switch the pre-installer will remove the unpacked files. One note: The lines: RMDir /r $INSTDIR RMDir $INSTDIR is very very dangerous. That is why it step forward to InnoSetup (and for another hundred reason). If you add a system like folder as extraction path it will delete them all... We should avoid this type of attack :o) - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

And it is true. For the Windows Installer the installation set is stored in that directory, where nsis unpacked it. Therefore this installation set cannot be removed because of the maintenance mode. But this is not the CD problem. The nsis installation sets shall not be located on a CD. There we use the installation sets without nsis. And in this case in maintenance mode the CD is required. The nsis is only used for downloads. And in this cases the user has no CD and threrefore needs to have the installation sets for the maintenance mode on his harddisk. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

I'll answer to myself. I have just tried running NSIS installer again after complete successfull installation and removing the folder with installation files completely. NSIS installer started and I'm now offered with the following possibilities: - Modify - Repair - Delete (translated from cs back to en-US, so please try to imagine that dialog :-) So it looks like it is completely OK to remove the files (even after unsuccessfull installation), because setup.exe is intellingent enough. of: Maybe you were describing all this with not having NSIS in your mind? I do not want to remove OpenOffice.org_exe file, but the folder with installation files (in my case, it was unpacked to Desktop). - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

[installation-issues] [Issue 49861] NSIS: remove the director y after the NSIS is finished

They'll kill us... I understand your technical reasons to leave them where they are, but I do not think people will follow the rule to leave files on the disk. I predict that 99% of all users will remove that directory after finishing the installation. This report was create on the feedback of one such user (not me ;-). - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

At least it makes more sense to remove the nsis file after unpacking just as it has been with the zip file before. And in times of 80GB harddisks. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

But if you use an msi based installer, it may require the availability of installation package. If you want to add/modify/and sometimes remove the setup of OOo it may require the unpacked installation set. So option without deleting is would be nice. But the mass of users will remove that unpacked install set. In onther hand if you start the distribution package it will start the setup again and ask for option (modify/repair/delete). The best solution would be if the users can make the dicision about deleting of unpacked file. You can review my way regarding this question: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=51780 Executable example: http://www.openoffice.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/27825/OOo_1.9.106-en-US.zip Hey, KAMI - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Download template setup_native/source/win32/nsis/downloadtemplate.nsi contains: Section -Post IfSilent onPostSilent onPostNoSilent onPostSilent: ExecWait $INSTDIR\setup.exe -lang $LANGUAGE /qr -ignore_running RMDir /r $INSTDIR RMDir $INSTDIR GoTo onPostDone onPostNoSilent: Exec $INSTDIR\setup.exe -lang $LANGUAGE Quit GoTo onPostDone onPostDone: SectionEnd And we are probably in NoSilent. Why? Shouldn't we add RMDir /r $INSTDIR RMDir $INSTDIR to both branches? Or should we change to Silent? - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
