OpenOffice.org Portable 3.0 ReleasedSubmitted by John T. Haller on December 18, 2008 - 4:08am
Features
New in This ReleaseThis release updates OpenOffice.org to 3.0 (release notes) and features an improved launcher and installer with better support for CJK paths and filenames. In addition, extra icon sets (Classic, Crystal, High-Contrast, Industrial and Tango) have been moved to an optional Image Pack download to save space. The new (and much improved) Galaxy icon set is included by default. Working Closer With OpenOffice.orgThis release also marks a milestone as we work more closely with the OpenOffice.org team. We'll be sharing resources and using their QA process moving forward for releases as we become a more official part of the OpenOffice.org world. PortableApps.com Installer / PortableApps.com FormatOpenOffice.org Portable is packaged in a PortableApps.com Installer so it will automatically detect an existing PortableApps.com installation when your drive is plugged in. It will automatically upgrade an existing OpenOffice.org Portable installation without affecting your settings. And it's in PortableApps.com Format, so it automatically works with the PortableApps.com Suite including the Menu and Backup Utility. DownloadOpenOffice.org Portable is available for immediate download from the OpenOffice.org Portable homepage. You can get the German release from the German homepage and the French, Italian, Japanese and Simplified Chinese releases from the Localization page. Get it today! ( categories: )

Thank You John having this released.
@All: The 3.0 release was a big step, not only building and testing it, also for the wellknown work of John 'behind the scenes'.
Thanks to all the testers and the feedback!
Sorry for the 'delay' but good work takes some time

I think that's a glitch with SourceForge (happens when I'm logged in). Go back and the second time it should work properly.

HIRE MEI HAVE BEEN HIRED.Splash Sweetness!!
Just noticed the new Portable OpenOffice.org splash screen. As well as looking cool I believe it marks a new level of "officialness" for portableapps applications. At least for OpenOffice.org. Congratulations John : )

GIMP Portable does the same thing. I think it's done that way for these apps because there's no way to suppress the internal splash.

Launch speed has increased a bit within OpenOffice.org itself, decreasing the need for a launcher splash that comes up more quickly. And we got permission from OpenOffice.org to modify the official splash using their trademarks and ours.

Thank you to everyone

Blame Marko for that
I think he's secretly trying to make us speak German.

Sure ;-) That was my real intention ;-)
... to be honest, it will be fixed with 3.0.1.
@John:I think I'll finished a spanish languagepack as plugin following the new installer rules soon
. To seperate th plugins from the base packagages was a good idea!
The updater will offer the new version soon and perhaps I'll have the new updater beta ready as Xmas gift

Trouble in installing OpenOfficePortable 3.0
When I try to install OpenOfficePortable 3.0, I get the message that I must first quit OpenOffice applications. But none of these applications are running. When I have even deleted all OpenOffice files, the error message still claims that OpenOffice applications are running.
My OS is Windows Vista. Previous installations have not been problematic.
Anyone who can help me?

Is your local install's quickstarter running (and sitting in the system tray)? You need to close it. For further help, please use the support forums.

Error messages loading OpenOffice.org 3.0
Thanks for the new OO.o 3.0 offering. It's nice for PA to be in sync with the latest version. (I don't write this as a criticism; usually PA is so quick to get new versions out the door that I use it as my "alarm" to update software on my regular computers! I don't know how you do it.)
I'm getting two error messages when trying to launch OpenOffice.org 3.0:
1) "Error loading BASIC of document
file:///H:PortableApps/OpenOfficePortable/App/openoffice/Basis/share/basic/
Launcher/script.xlb/:
[I had to split that line because it wouldn't display completely on the forum preview function]
General Error,
General input/output error."
2) The second is nearly identical, but the long first line ends in "dialog.xlb/:".
After that, OO.o Writer seems to launch and save files normally.
FWIW, I'm running this from a half-empty 8 GB USB drive on a Windows Vista Home Premium laptop.
Forums
We're gonna need to delve into this more deeply. Please make a new post in the support forums so we can figure this out.

ooo3 in spanish
Hi
I need information for to traslate ooo3 to spanish.
I used this process:
1. Install OpenOffice.org Portable to your portable device as outlined on the support page
2. Copy the directory OpenOfficePortable\App\openoffice\share\fonts\truetype to another location
3. Delete all the files within the OpenOfficePortable\App\openoffice\ directory
4. Copy your local OpenOffice.org files to that same directory (you can usually find them in C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 3\ )
5. Copy the directory you saved above (fonts\truetype) back into the same location: OpenOfficePortable\App\openoffice\share\fonts\truetype
6. Use OpenOffice.org Portable as normal
but, don´t work.
Thanks
no need ...
... cause spanish package is still ready and will be available soon.

OpenOffice 3.0 does not work on Vista x64
Vista x64 enforces hardware DEP which keeps any and all of the OpenOffice applications from working.

Go-oo please
i would love it if there was a portable version of the Go-oo OpenOffice fork:

This has been discussed and we're not planning on doing it for a number of reasons. First off, it doesn't add much to OO.o as the 3.0 release added the important bits that go-oo wanted (like MS Office 2007 support). Second, it's an unstable development branch, essentially... it is not meant for standard production use. Third, it's a lot of work to maintain OO.o itself and this would effectively double that for hardly any gain. Fourth, the speed claims made by the go-oo folks have proved to be exaggerations in the tests I've seen. Fifth, it's maintained by Novell which has that much-despised patent protection deal with Microsoft and is seen by many as an attempt to sneak some mono or other patent problematic code into the codebase (the patent protection deal only protects Novell and their clients... not the wider open source community).
This has been discussed more than once in the forums. If you wish to join the discussion, please do so there to discuss further.

thanks for the detailed reply
thanks for the detailed reply John.
i didn't know this had been previously discussed and am glad to know it has been.
also, thanks for mentioning the Novell detail--i was unaware of their connection to Go-oo.
