There it could install but could not run. <br />Thank you in advance for any hint<br />IbrahimIbrahimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07303375294898315868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544609315733972726.post-83658447073015610062009-11-07T10:10:28.109-07:002009-11-07T10:10:28.109-07:00Richard, indeed, the msvc*90.dll libraries are not...Richard, indeed, the msvc*90.dll libraries are not installed on this public computer. (It has older versions, up to 7.1); however, I need administrator rights to install the package (vcredist_x86.exe) included in the "redist" folder that you mention.<br /><br />Copying the .dlls to C:\windows\system32 doesn't work (Access denied).timbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05045705916689577033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544609315733972726.post-42089843782796929632009-09-09T09:35:59.449-06:002009-09-09T09:35:59.449-06:00For those having problems with the network install...For those having problems with the network install not working, it is most likely because the msvc*90.dll's are missing. In the OpenOffice.org initial download, after the files are extracted look in the installation folder for a folder called "redist". This is to install the c++ redistributale's. This will fix the missing dll's.<br /><br />If you do not have the "redist" folder in your OOo download you can get the needed install file at: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9B2DA534-3E03-4391-8A4D-074B9F2BC1BF<br /><br />Hope this helps.Richardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544609315733972726.post-77735292527619678562009-06-12T10:04:11.040-06:002009-06-12T10:04:11.040-06:00still the same...

However, that doesn't work. I did include the ALLUSERS="" option, so the install went ok; but when starting any program, the message about the configuration error appears.<br /><br />The OOo readme suggests that you need to download a Visual C++ redsitributable package from Microsoft. These files (msvc*90.dll) are indeed not installed. I did download it, but it turns out that you need admin rights to install the package... I tried copying the files myself from "...\OOo\Windows\system32" to "C:\Windows\system32": no access. I also tried including "...\OOo\Windows\system32" to the PATH var. No luck :-(<br /><br />I'm now using the portable apps method. It's an older version, but it'll have to do...<br /><br />Regards,<br />GidiGidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08704487292730429562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544609315733972726.post-68247391296454494622009-05-31T10:27:29.172-06:002009-05-31T10:27:29.172-06:00Joel: You can use

But I got careless, didn't uninstall it before putting 3 on, and I never have managed to get the desktop integration working. I'm not sure how to cleanly uninstall everything, but keep my config files!, and start over. sudo apt-get --purge dumps everything, --remove doesn't seem to dump enough.<BR/><BR/>It'd be nice if Sun moved into the 21st century and established a repository Ubuntu users could add to Synaptic, or at least started providing .deb files that installed, including desktop integration, with one click, like Firefox!<BR/><BR/>quixote.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544609315733972726.post-92005619505763211952009-03-07T15:38:00.000-07:002009-03-07T15:38:00.000-07:00Anonymous: Of course OpenOffice.org 3 creates file...Anonymous: Of course OpenOffice.org 3 creates file associations!
