It must not use a normal setup.exe file. USSF doesnt like it. Ive got all the files in the /Staroffice directory, and running setup.exe with /s /SILENT /VERYSILENT /S /qb all did nothing. There are no MSI files inside the setup file, so what else can I do?

Bump

Alright, after lots of searching, I found how to do it (Suprisingly, not on MSFN ) For anyone else who wants to silent install OpenOffice, it is the exact same procedure.

Step One

Copy the contents of the StarOffice/OpenOffice cd to the folder you want it to be in.

Step Two

Make a file inside that directory called 'response.txt'

Step Three

Paste this text inside it, changing DestinationPath to C:\Program Files\OpenOffice if that's what you are installing. Also, change Register4MsWord=Yes, Register4MsExcel=Yes, Register4MsPowerPoint=Yes, and RegisterAsDefaultHtmlEditor=Yes to 'No' If you dont want that extention registered.

*****START*****
[Environment]
InstallationMode=INSTALL_NORMAL
InstallationType=STANDARD
DestinationPath=C:\Program Files\StarOffice
StartProcedure=MyStartProc
EndProcedure = MyEndProc

[Windows_Desktop_Integration]
Register4MsWord=Yes
Register4MsExcel=Yes
Register4MsPowerPoint=Yes
RegisterAsDefaultHtmlEditor=Yes

[Java]
JavaSupport = preinstalled_or_none

[Procedures]
Sub PostSetup
SetReboot( False )
End Sub
HideSetup
*****FINISH*****

Step Four

Call setup like this, changing directories to suit your needs:

*****START*****
ECHO.
ECHO Installing StarOffice
ECHO Please Wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\Applications\Staroffice\j2re-1_4_2-windows-i586.exe /S /v/qn
start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\Applications\Staroffice\setup.exe -r %systemdrive%\Install\Applications\Staroffice\response.txt
*****FINISH*****

The first start /wait installs Java, the second installs StarOffice.

Have fun!
