Administrative installation just extracts the embedded CAB file onto
the disk in the right folder structure. It does not write anything to
registry. WRITEREGISTRY property has no effect.

AFAIK default language selection happens at first start.

If I understand correctly, you would like to test custom
installations, where not all features are present, parallel. I don't
know, how to do that right. One option is to manually delete files
that belong to a given feature. I don't know how to manipulate
administrative images with MST files.

Andras,

So as per the  Installing_in_parallel Wiki
<https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel#Version_3.5.x_and_newer:>
 
to install a parallel instance, should we be setting a WRITEREGSITRY=0 when
doing the command line /A administrative installation? 

And other than adjusting the "*UserInstallation=*" location of the
program\bootstrap.ini file so as to not clobber the existing user
profile--the administrative install becomes the working "parallel"
installation?   Does the system default language become the language of the
administrative install?  Or does it always remain 1033, en-US?

Couldn't LibreOffice program features and alternate languages be configured
and applied against the administrative install using a .MST transform file? 
And how complicated would that have to be to end up with a usable alternate
installation--not needing to run the recast .MSI located in the
administrative install's folder.

Stuart

Hi András,

I tried with one of my 4.1.0.0 server installations on WIN:

1. launched
   master~2013-01-24_22.52.49_LibO-Dev_4.1.0.0.alpha0_Win_x86.msi
2. Custom Installation
3. Unselected Writer (and saw BASE unexpectedly unselected)
4. Continued "Installation"
   No effect nowhere, this build and also my normal 4.0.0.2 rc
   worked with Writer as expected

Best Regards


Rainer

You can install LibreOffice with that .msi. It works the same as the original.

Hi,

Yes, but I wonder what can be done with the .msi above the program 
folder? I am pretty sure that I was involved in a discussion concerning 
reasons of that .msi, but I forgot all results.

Yes, it is. With msiexec /a you convert the install kit from one
format to another. It is not an installation, just an extraction of
the single msi file.

[Libreoffice-qa] installing 400rc2 parallel on Windows - no way to choose extensions ?

[Cor Nouws]

Hi,

As not regular Windows user, I hit a problem with installing 400rc2.
I use parallel installation (1)

After  " msiexec /a LibreOffice_4.0.0.2_Win_x81.msi  "
I can give the path, but do not have the option to choose which 
extensions (e.g. language packs) will be installed.

Is that regular, expected, behaviour?

Thanks,
Cor
