LibreOfficePortable and terminal server

ildary - November 29, 2011 - 3:00am

OOPortable had a feature to run on terminal server: .ini option SettingsDirectory - to use separate folders. LibreOffice does not have this feature and users see a warning every time they start office. Option SingleAppInstance cannot help in this situation. Is there any workaround?

Unsupported

Portable apps are intended for a single user at a time to run and most will not support multiple instances regardless of a setting. The SettingsDirectory variable was never designed to support a USERNAME variable but it inadvertently did due to the underlying language we wrote it in. Even with such a setting, internal things like updating the java settings in the bootstrap.ini will cause issue with multiple users.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
