OpenOffice Portable

Does anyone know if the Sun Report Builder extension works with OOo Portable version 2.3.1. I know that the description states that it has some extension support, I was just wondering if anyone has first hand expierence with this particular extension?

When trying to use the Report Wizard in OpenOffice.org Base I get the following error message:

OpenOffice.org 2.3
The wizard could not be run, because important files were not found.
Under 'Tools - Options - OpenOffice.org - Paths' click the 'Default' button to reset the paths to the original default settings.
Then run the wizard again.

Obviously the paths cannot be reset to defaults because of the PortableApps modifications. I guess this just has to be looked into and a patch released.

Hi there!

Altough openoffice is a very nice (free) program, I still want to uninstall it. But the question is how?

I never found a program that will uninstall openoffice and can't find it in my configuration/software to delete the program.

Went something wrong in the installation? Or did I miss something?

Thanks

How can I insert a picture in OpenOffice Impress. I always receive a "Unknown graphics format" message, for BMP and JPEG files.

I can't either insert pictures in OpenOffice Writer.

Is possible to bundle Open office portable to be used as a jar? Basically I want to avoid installing Open office in the client and using in a Java Web Start approach.

Have seen that in Alfresco but maybe it's easier to ask here than over there.

Thanks in advance!

I would like to disable the PortableApps splash screen (it's a lovely picture but I'm tired of looking at it). I've tried adding "DisableSplashScreen=true" to a whole bunch of different ini files but none of those attempts worked. A tried-and-true recipe would be appreciated. Thanks...

There's a great modded version of Openoffice called Oxygenoffice. Can it be made portable and released alongside Openoffice, just like Kompozer is with NVU?

Plötzlich und unerwartet läuft Openoffice Portable nicht mehr auf meinem Rechner (XP home SP2), übrigens auch keine andere Variante bis herunter zu StarOffice7. Stets erhalte ich die Meldung: Der Komponenten-Manager ist nicht verfügbar. Reparaturinstallationen helfen ebensowenig wie Neuinstallationen nach Komplettlöschung.
Der XP-Rechner eines Bekannten hat diese Probleme nicht. Woran liegt's?

Hi,
since I mainly use the portable apps on my home pc (I know this is not the intended use for it) I would like to associate some file types directly with the right OpenOfficePortable App. But this seems to be not easy/impossible. All these commands always opens the filter selection first:
OpenOfficeCalcPortable.exe "%1"
OpenOfficePortable.exe -calc "%1"
OpenOfficeCalcPortable.exe -calc "%1"

So, is there another solution than using soffice.exe -calc "%1" or scalc.exe "%1" directly?

I downloaded the German version of OpenOffice Portable 2.3.1 Rev 2 and want to upgrade my old 2.2.1 OOP on a U3-USB-Stick. On that stick I run the Portable Apps Menu and that is where I call "Options" and then "Install a new app...". I get a DOS-Window opening but closing so fast that I'm unable to read the error-message. Nothing happens after that.
I also tried to run the downloaded file as an administrator (right-click and run as admin) but to no success.
What's the problem?
