Ah... I now understand why it worked in Windows for me :-) I run Win2KPro (Service Pack 4) in a virtual machine & had forgotten that the user that I login with has admin privilages. So now I created a standard user "Power Users Group" and reinstall OOo3RC2. Interesting enough, despite the instructions on http://download.openoffice.org/common/instructions.html I find that I can unpack the files, but cannot install them - even though a standard user that is a member of the "Power Users Group" is authorized to install programs - I am able to install FireFox 3 for example... I've not yet tried it on WinXPPro as a Standard User, have you? I guess it's off to bug reporting again... :-( --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
