OpenOffice.org Portable

I've already installed the platform and most of the apps I want without incident; the OpenOffice installer won't even launch and errors out with "The installer integrity check has failed. Common causes include incomplete download or damaged media". I have also attempted to install a previous version (hoping to update once installed), but that gives me the same message.

The operating system on my laptop is Vista Home Premium w/SP2; I'm trying to install onto a Patriot 8GB flash drive (this app is the only one out of about 5 that gives me the error message).

Any ideas?

For some reason, OOo 3.1.1 Portable insists on saving everything to E:\PortableApps\OpenOfficePortable\Data\Documents instead of the default E:\Documents created by the PA Menu (I'm using 2.0 beta 3).

Yes, I've tred reinstalling OOo Portable from scratch (completely deleting the E:\PortableApps\OpenOfficePortable\*.* folder and starting over with a fresh download)

E:\ in this case is my USB hard drive

EDIT: Clarification: I can still navigate to the E:\Documents folder from the Save As dialog, but it always starts in E:\PortableApps\OpenOfficePortable\Data\Documents.

is there a quick way of making openoffice portable the default application that gets called when openoffice (and microsoft office) documents are opened?

thanks,
david

Hi,

if I try to start Open Office Portable 3.1.1
on Windows Vista Home Premium it crashes after startup.
I receive the system message
"Open Office does not work any more".

Any idea how to solve this problem?
That would be great!

I saw a really old version of OO.o on this website in the beta forums and I now use that instead of the supported version that's out there right now. I know that there is AbiWord, but I'm loyal to OO.o and was wondering if John (or somebody else) could create OO.o Portable Lite. I know you used to have Writer and Impress downloads by themselves but its gone now. I literally have 642Kb of free space on my flash drive! (before I downgraded to lite.

Everyone knows you can't work without lite .

Hi there,

something strange happens: on a usb stick of a friend of mine, OpenOffice 3.1 Writer does not start. Even Calc doesn't do so.

There is no splash screen. The only thing you see is in the task manager. There I can see the two processes "soffice.bin" and "soffice.exe", but after a few seconds, they both disappear.

Is there some sort of log file, where I could check, what went wrong? Are there maybe some known incompatibilities, I should have a look for?

I like the idea of importing a PDF file into OpenOffice as per
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/pdfimport

I assume that as standard is not portable.
Is there, or will there be, a portable version please.

Regards
Alan
