OpenOffice 3.0.0 Silent

[teemue]

How is it possible? Doesn't seem to work the way Ooo 2.4 worked.

Run the installer but cancel after it extracts the files. Then:

msiexec /i "path\to\installation files\openofficeorg30.msi" /passive

That'll do the basic install, I haven't time to look at removing the registration box, something I never figured out completely with the last version.

Thanks Switches for component selection would be cool idd...

I hope the properties are the same for 3.0:

http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/D...#MSI_Properties

about the registration box, in v2.x (and I'd guess same for 3.0) the registration data is saved in a xml file in %APPDATA%\OpenOffice.orgX\user\registry\data\org\openoffice\Setup.xcu

those 2 properties in there should be interesting:

...
 <node oor:name="Office">
  <prop oor:name="ooSetupInstCompleted" oor:type="xs:boolean">
   <value>true</value>
  </prop>
...
  </prop>
  <prop oor:name="FirstStartWizardCompleted" oor:type="xs:boolean">
   <value>true</value>
  </prop>
...

My OOo 2.4 installation was automated with those instructions, bj-kaiser.

However, when trying the same with OOo 3.0.0 installation complained something about gm_r_Files

[teemue]

I did a little research with ORCA editor and this is where I got into:

start /wait msiexec /qn /norestart /i openofficeorg30.msi SELECT_WORD=1 SELECT_EXCEL=1 ADDLOCAL=ALL REMOVE=gm_p_Math,gm_p_Impress,gm_p_Draw,gm_p_Base,gm_o_Quickstart,gm_o_Testtool

[bj-kaiser]

what did your commandline look like? maybe you missed a thing or two there.

never mind. looks alright.

weird.

not work in v3.0

SELECT_WORD=1 SELECT_EXCEL=1 SELECT_PPT=1

replace by

REGISTER_ALL_MSO_TYPES=1

[Ralin]

not work in v3.0

SELECT_WORD=1 SELECT_EXCEL=1 SELECT_PPT=1

replace by

REGISTER_ALL_MSO_TYPES=1

That did not work here.

Using SELECT_WORD etc. did work however.

It appears that the feature you can use REMOVE on is in the features-tab of ORCA, I successfully installed using this line:

start "" /wait "openofficeorg30.msi" /passive ALLUSERS=1 SELECT_WORD=0 SELECT_EXCEL=0 SELECT_POWERPOINT=0 ADDLOCAL=ALL REMOVE=gm_o_Quickstart

This removes the quickstarter and sets microsoft office to the default application for its files.

I'm still stuck on dictionaries though, I used to have a SFX for extracting the files to "%ProgramFiles%\OpenOffice.org 2.4\share\dict\ooo\"

That doesn't seem to do the trick anymore.

Apparently, this one should do the trick for extensions.

But the extensions are oxt, and dictionaryes is in .zip

This works for me, using SFX in Winrar

;The comment below contains SFX script commands

Path=.\%SYSTEMDRIVE%\TEMP\open

SavePath

Silent=1

Overwrite=1

Setup=msiexec /qn /norestart /i c:\temp\open\openofficeorg30.msi SELECT_WORD=1 SELECT_EXCEL=1 SELECT_POWERPOINT=1 ADDLOCAL=ALL

For extensions and dictionaries search for "unopkg" in google and keep in the mind that an .oxt is a .zip and can be modified... look in .xml inside this and you can look the eula terms

Thanks to Floppy for the SFX solution. Set it up and tested...........works brilliantly..........thanks again, very good!
