OpenOffice.org Without Java?

[abarax66]

I'm curious as to any means of preventing OpenOffice.org from installing the outdated version of Java during its own installation. OpenOffice.org tries to install Java Runtime Environment 6 Update 4, and I've already got JRE 6 Update 10 on my system, so it simply installs it alongside it.

Any ideas?

Download the version of OpenOffice without java.

I've looked all over the OpenOffice.org website for that, but found nothing.

Go to http://distribution.openoffice.org/mirrors/#mirrors

Select a mirror and then you should see a directory. Go to Stable > 2.4.1 > and download "OOo_2.4.1_Win32Intel_install_en-US.exe".

Go to the P2P downloads section, you can get a version without Java via torrent.

Or you could extract your Java bundled download with 7-zip and just run the Open Office installer.

On this download page, there is a checkbox called "Include the Java JRE with this download". Uncheck it, then click the download link for your language and platform.
