UPX compression of OpenOffice.org 3

GrzegorzJZD (Homepage) - December 27, 2008 - 10:06am

Hi

I'd like to know if OpenOfficePortable contains UPX-compressed or normal version of OpenOffice.org 3.

I tried to compress polish language version of OOo3 and put it under OpenOfficePortable/App/openoffice, but after packing it with UPX using PortableApps Compressor, it is no longer starting. No error dialogs appears, but also not working.

I really need to compress it, cause it is to large to store it on small thumbs.

Any ideas what could get wrong and hot to fix it?

It is not so easy as it seems to be ...

to make version 3 portable.

At first, don't compress the jar files or the msvsrt files.
Second You have to install the runtime 'side by side' for all the main executables.

Look at the released packages and compare it with Yours ...

... or wait for the polish portable, will be available with the spanish version next week.

Paid for Software more or less?
What You need is OSS!
