I've been trying to follow the instructions in these various places: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/openmeetings-user/8ONkb-1QBLk/discussion http://code.google.com/p/openmeetings/wiki/OpenOfficeConverter http://www.artofsolving.com/node/11 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q137890/
but have had no luck. I can run soffice.exe manually with the correct commandline flags and that works, but have been completely unable to configure it to run as a service. I am using the latest release of OpenMeetings (1.9.0, from this week) and latest release of OpenOffice (3.3.0), and running on Windows Server 2003 R2. Here is my registry dump for the service I created: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\OpenOfficeService] "Type"=dword:00000010 "Start"=dword:00000002 "ErrorControl"=dword:00000001 "ImagePath"=hex(2):22,00,63,00,3a,00,5c,00,50,00,72,00,6f,00,67,00,72,00,61,00,\ 6d,00,20,00,46,00,69,00,6c,00,65,00,73,00,20,00,28,00,78,00,38,00,36,00,29,\ 00,5c,00,57,00,69,00,6e,00,64,00,6f,00,77,00,73,00,20,00,52,00,65,00,73,00,\ 6f,00,75,00,72,00,63,00,65,00,20,00,4b,00,69,00,74,00,73,00,5c,00,54,00,6f,\ 00,6f,00,6c,00,73,00,5c,00,73,00,72,00,76,00,61,00,6e,00,79,00,2e,00,65,00,\ 78,00,65,00,22,00,00,00 "DisplayName"="OpenOfficeService" "WOW64"=dword:00000001 "ObjectName"="W2K\\Administrator" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\OpenOfficeService\Parameters] "Application"="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\OpenOffice.org 3\\program\\soffice.exe\"" "AppParameters"="-headless -nofirststartwizard -accept=\"socket,host=localhost,port=8100;urp;StarOffice.Service\"" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\OpenOfficeService\Security] "Security"=hex:01,00,14,80,b8,00,00,00,c4,00,00,00,14,00,00,00,30,00,00,00,02,\ 00,1c,00,01,00,00,00,02,80,14,00,ff,01,0f,00,01,01,00,00,00,00,00,01,00,00,\ 00,00,02,00,88,00,06,00,00,00,00,00,14,00,fd,01,02,00,01,01,00,00,00,00,00,\ 05,12,00,00,00,00,00,18,00,ff,01,0f,00,01,02,00,00,00,00,00,05,20,00,00,00,\ 20,02,00,00,00,00,14,00,8d,01,02,00,01,01,00,00,00,00,00,05,04,00,00,00,00,\ 00,14,00,8d,01,02,00,01,01,00,00,00,00,00,05,06,00,00,00,00,00,14,00,00,01,\ 00,00,01,01,00,00,00,00,00,05,0b,00,00,00,00,00,18,00,fd,01,02,00,01,02,00,\ 00,00,00,00,05,20,00,00,00,23,02,00,00,01,01,00,00,00,00,00,05,12,00,00,00,\ 01,01,00,00,00,00,00,05,12,00,00,00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\OpenOfficeService\Enum] "0"="Root\\LEGACY_OPENOFFICESERVICE\\0000" "Count"=dword:00000001 "NextInstance"=dword:00000001 Am I missing something important here?
