Cannot load OpenOffice on U3 key

Submitted by mojave on January 19, 2007 - 3:38pm

Hello. I have been trying to load Open Office on my 1GB U3 key. I go on the PortableApps.com site, download OpenOffice to my PC as OpenOffice_Portable 2.0.4 en-us.paf.exe, then try to execute it. As target, I give Drive F, i.e. my U3 key. Then I get a long list of error messages, such as "can not open output file F:\OpenOfficePortable\openoffice\help...

I am probably doing something very stupid !

Can someone help me ? Without an office system, this U3 key is rather useless

Thanks a lot.

Hi, I have a small problem, one I hope you wonderful people here can fix. I'm using the Portable Apps Menu, however, when I open O.O.org Portalble I want to actually run the OpenofficePortable.exe, and have that show up in the menu, instead of the exe's for each component of OpenOffice. I like to be able to click on one exe and then choose what I want to do. Plus it would take some of the clutter out of my menu.

Thanks.

Weird bug

I'm making a table with headers in Portable OpenOffice Writer, two column table (table > insert table), across three page columns (format > column). When I make the table header, the program crashes.

Obscure, but annoying.

Works from external devices but not my internal hard drive

I have successfully downloaded and run the PortableApps suite on three different USB hard drives and on all my USB thumb drives. I even ran it off of my Sandisk m200 series MP3 player.

Out of curiosity, I tried to download it and run it on my laptop's hard drive, most programs in the suite worked perfectly, but, OpenOffice Writer did not work and gave me some error saying some file was not present. I deleted the suite and downloaded it again and then installed it and got the same problem again. Does anyone have any idea why PortableApps would not work from some folder on my laptop hard drive?
