tmp file in homedir not deletedSubmitted by h.nekkers on June 3, 2009 - 10:12am
Hello, I installed OpenOffice Portable on a networkshare, so it could be used by all our students. I directed all the path to the homedir H: I start OpenOffice-->Writer and on exit from writer a get an error. I found there is created a tmp dir in the homedir which is read-only and isn't deleted on exit. What am I doing wrong? How to solve this problem. Our student are common-users and have full access/control to there home-dir. ( categories: )

Not Designed For That
Portable apps are not designed to be installed to a networkshare and then shared by users. They are designed for a single user. They could be used from a networkshare mapped to a drive letter, but only by one user at a time. Anything else and you will have problems.
If you want to share it, install normal OpenOffice.org to a network share and run it normally. It'll save to APPDATA for each user.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Oke but....
I am an administrator and when I use OpenOffice the tmp dir is deleted. I try to redirect it to teh local temp enviroment.
