[tdf-discuss] Silent install one language (on Winodws)
Hi, Some time ago I wrote to the User-list regarding silent (administrative) installation. The change in file structure and installation procedures in LibreOffice is missing one perspective and that is when you need to install LibreOffice on many (perhaps thousands) computers. I think its important that we consider this when we decide the installation process with multible languages in one package: 1. How to install one or two languages out of many 2. How to select default language in the GUI I have tried to install LibreOffice on Windows XP with only one language using a batch script. I thought one of the following command should do it: msiexec /qn /i libreoffice33.msi TRANSFORMS=trans_da.mst msiexec /qn /i libreoffice33.msi /t trans_da.mst msiexec /qn /i libreoffice33.msi TRANSFORMS=trans_da.mst msiexec /qn /i libreoffice33.msi /g 1033 But all languages gets installed in all cases. Is it possible to install one language only? How? If not; are there any plans for this?

Re: [tdf-discuss] Who Handles LO Portable?
I regularly use Oo_O Portable in classes to avoid the obvious potential file type clashes in different versions of the UK education standard MS Office but have so far not been able to find a LibO Portable version. Could you give me a link to it if you have it handy?

When I re-open Writer the Locale is back to USA. Windows Vista itself says UK and OpenOffice 3.2.1 also says UK. I'm pretty sure this is a bug in LO but do I need to report it to LO or to the Portable Apps folk?

[tdf-discuss] Re: Trouble installing on Windows XP
I have to admit to being totally frustrated now. I cleared any reference to OpenOffice and LibreOffice from the registry, AND, even though neither OpenOffice, LibreOffice nor StarOffice were listed as installed programs at Control Panel/Add or Remove Programs, I found and removed some directories (and files) of OpenOffice, LibreOffice and StarOffice just in case that is the reason for the conflict. I even changed the anti-virus program on my computer thinking that may be where the problem is, all to no avail. When the installation stops (hangs) at about 4/5th the way on the progress bar, both the NEXT and BACK buttons are ghosted, but I can click on CANCEL which prompts a warning window asking if I am sure I want to cancel the installation. When I click on YES, nothing happens, and the only why to clear the installation window(s) is by using End Task of the Windows Task Manager. Using Alt + Tab did not show any other warning screen. I am reluctant to do anything else in the Registry without specific guidance. I don't know what to do, but I need to be able to use the Calc part of either OpenOffice of LibreOffice. As far as I can tell I am not having any other problems on my computer.

That changes as prices fall and probably for every $10 fall another million can enter the market. So even small changes can have a significant effect on large numbers of people.

Select 3 or more other cells -- NOT in a continuous block (e.g. B2 and C3). 3.
