OpenOffice Portable

I'm running Windows XP SP2, and whenever I try to open OpenOffice 2.0.1 it doesn't work. I see the PortableOpenOffice splash screen, but nothing else happens. I tried soffice.exe, but that didn't work. I'm stuck, and the new apparently-very-cool app is lost to me... On the bright side, 1.5 still works. Curious...

Hey I was wondering if it would be possible to break apart the parts of OOo. That would save space for people who don't want the whole thing and it would solve our issue of a stand-alone spreadsheet.

I've been debating creating launchers for each so you can have one icon for each, just like on a local install. Is there interest in this?

it'll be nice if it was possible to download just "Writer" (or "Calc",...).

thx

Since the Open Office Dev team are releasing beta and RC build what would I need to do inorder to use the Launcher that you/John T. Haller has made but replacing the OO 2.0 suite with the most recent 2.0.1 RC4 build?

Many thanks,

Your work in portable apping is much apreciated and well put to use.

MrChris

First of all many thanks for your work!

My problem: I'd like to have Portable OOo2 in my own language (Italian), so I tried to compress it using Upx (both the stable and the beta versions), but I didn't get any appreciable result: I've only saved about 5MB from 200MB!
*jar files seems to be already recompressed...where's my mistake?
