Openoffice for U3 directory problemsSubmitted by Smartguy on January 7, 2008 - 8:39pm.
I had downloaded OpenOffice for U3 off of the U3 Download Central and installed it. However, when I try to run it from the U3 Launchpad it gives me an error saying "OpenOffice.org for U3 cannot be started. you may wish to re-install to fix this issue. (ERROR: The program could not be found: \openoffice\program\soffice.exe)" I had tried re-installing it, re-downloading then re-installing it, and contacting Sandisk who told me to come here. I would like to know how to get this to work. ( categories: )

Did you try
Simeon - January 8, 2008 - 4:53amdownloading it from here or did you just download it from the U3 Download Center?
Try the download from here. That one worked for me yesterday on a sandisk drive.

Thanks but,
Smartguy - January 8, 2008 - 8:42pmI had downloaded it from U3 download Central. So I downloaded it from where you told me to. After I downloaded I went to uninstall the old version to try the new one, but it told me it could not uninstall it. So I ejected the drive properly and plugged it back in. i ran the U3 Startpad and told me the drive system was unfortmated or corrupted. How do I fix this problem?
Forget my last message!!
Smartguy - January 9, 2008 - 5:58pmI have reinstalled the software for the drive and it is working now. However, the download at http://portableapps.com/u3apps/office/suites/openoffice_for_u3 for OpenOffice for U3 didn't work.
What didnt work?
Simeon - January 10, 2008 - 4:06amThe download or the installation?

Starting openoffice
CaptEdlk - April 12, 2008 - 9:32pmThis is my first forum ever, so please forgive me if it's not right.
I had installed open office on mu U3 smart drive and it was working. I loaded Essential PIM PRO, which didn't work right, Outlook sync gave me errors. When I tried open office again, it also gave me errors. Unknown program - START,EXE,cannot be started, may wish to reinstall, cannot be found \openoffice\program\soffice.exe. One time I got the mentioned path with J:\ preceeding it. I tried reinstalling a number of times, uninstalling previous install. Removed PIM program and tried again. Still got the same error.
Can someone help me, please!!?? Thanks
Well,
