New in This Release

This release updates OpenOffice.org to 3.1.1 (release notes) and adds in Portugues (Brazil) and Spanish language packages.

Extra Icon Sets

Extra icon sets (Classic, Crystal, High-Contrast, Industrial and Tango) are available as an optional Image Pack download to save space. The new (and much improved) Galaxy icon set is included by default.

Working Closer With OpenOffice.org

This release marks another milestone as we work more closely with the OpenOffice.org team. We'll be sharing resources and using their QA process moving forward for releases as we become a more official part of the OpenOffice.org world.

PortableApps.com Installer / PortableApps.com Format

OpenOffice.org Portable is packaged in a PortableApps.com Installer so it will automatically detect an existing PortableApps.com installation when your drive is plugged in. It will automatically upgrade an existing OpenOffice.org Portable installation without affecting your settings. And it's in PortableApps.com Format, so it automatically works with the PortableApps.com Suite including the Menu and Backup Utility.

Download

OpenOffice.org Portable is available for immediate download from the OpenOffice.org Portable homepage. You can get the German release from the German homepage and the Dutch, French, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Russian and Simplified Chinese releases from the Localization page.

The link to download the version 3.1.1 - Portuguese (Brazil) is not correct. The current link corresponds to version 3.1.0 - Portuguese (Portugal), despite the name of the file indicate the version 3.1.1.

I've fixed that link. My apologies for any inconvenience.

Have you tried this one (OOP 3.1.1) in Windows 7? I can't run it in Windows 7: "OpenOffice.org 3.1 has stopped working." Am I doing something wrong?

Two things to try:

  1. Make sure you're not installing it any deeper than X:\PortableApps\OpenOfficePortable - otherwise you run into problems with path length exceeding 256 characters which is breaking point. I believe that in earlier versions of Windows it will put up a specific (Windows-generated) message box, but it's quite feasible that in Windows 7 it would just crash outright.
  2. Make sure that OpenOffice.org (non-portable edition) works on Windows 7.
