OpenOffice Portable

Anyone have a clue why I'm getting these errors?

I tend to copy PortableApps to the hard drive and run them from there--less traffic on the flash stick.

I have the latest OpenOffice Portable version installed on my USB Flashdisk as per its default settings.

Actually, this is my second installation after having discovered the perils of using NTFS as Filesystem for a USB Flash Drive. It is now formatted as FAT32 with all the applications reinstalled via Portable installers (*.paf).

My initial install on NTFS worked like a charm, unfortunately it isn't the same now. The problem is everytime I run OO the application returns an error saying "Unable to start application. Unable to set language for interface."

I recently had to replace my personal laptop and ended up with a Vista Home Premium machine (not by preference!).

Running OOo from my USB key on this machine, I had to select the JRE as usual**, but something was odd: the "use a java runtime environment" checkbox was not checked (it usually is) and no JREs popped up in the list, not even after several minutes (the list can take a while to populate while the computer is being searched for Java installations).

I successfully created a document in Writer by opening a Word template in writer, writing the document, saving the result as an OO Writer xml document, previewing the document and printing it as a PDF. I'm using OO writer 2.3.1.

The problem arises when I them open the document once again. The template information is gone and the layout of the document is garbaged and it is not garbaged consistently. Three creations of the document resulted in three differently garbaged documents when reopened.

When i do a spellcheck F7 i change the language to Dutch but it keeps there only for one word and goes back to german

how to solve this problem

thanks in advance for your quick reply

Hello

My portable openoffice can't find java - I tried both locations (G:\2_Programy\CommonFiles\Java and G:\2_Programy\OpenOfficePortable\App\Java) - in those folders I have bin and lib folders that I took from jre1.6.0_03 directory on my friend's computer.

My javaportable.ini:
[JavaPortable]
Vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.
Version=1.6.0_03
URL=http://java.sun.com/

I downloaded the "Standard" from https://portableapps.com/suite
I launched "Writer Portable", clicked on Help, and was disappointed to find version 2.0.4 Copyright 2000-2006 - I thought I had been promised 2.3.1

I clicked on Help > Check for Updates and was given
OOo_2.3.1_Win32Intel_install_wJRE_en-US.exe 125,892,318
Incase it did not know where to find my portableapps, I moved it from my download folder to the root of the external drive H:\ in which the portableapps was already installed.

I double clicked. It seemed to know what it was doing. So very deceptive

I downloaded 2.3.1 Rv 2 from default Amsterdam Mirror
After 100% download completion, NOD32 Version 2.7 took 20 Minutes to scan before it allowed me to touch it.
A subsequent scan (launched via context menu) took 997 Seconds, and log includes
OpenOffice_Portable_2.3.1_Rev_2_en-us.paf.exe »NSIS »testtar.tar »TAR - archive damaged.

I downloaded from Kent (UK) Mirror with the same delays and complaints.
Binary comparison by AptDiff found no differences between the two downloads.

Hi all,

I am creating a few little portable apps for my own use, and am struggling to work out how OpenOffice manages it's menu entries. Specifically, where does the OpenOfficePortable.exe menu entry disappear to?

I am trying to clean up my PortableApps menu a bit, and one of the things I want to do is ONLY have the OpenOfficePortable.exe entry showing. Is this possible?

Cheers,

Anthony.
