Is there any way to silent install openoffice 1.1.1 ?

I found some information about it here but Im not quite sure if it'll work... I don't really want to burn 4 cds before this works...

Has anyone ever tried this ?

Thanks

I'm in need of this too, I'm loving it compared to MS Office 2003 and XP. So small, so fast, so neat, so free!

hi,

just ran a successful test:

create a setup.txt inside OOo-folder with:

CODE

[Environment]
InstallationMode=INSTALL_NORMAL
DestinationPath=C:\Program Files\OpenOfficev1.1.1
EndProcedure=PostSetup

[Java]
JavaSupport=preinstalled_or_none

[Windows_Desktop_Integration]
Register4MSWord=True
Register4MSExcel=True
Register4MSPowerPoint=True
RegisterAsDefaultHTMLEditor=False

[Procedures]
Sub PostSetup
SetReboot( False )
End Sub

in it.

then call

CODE

setup.exe -r:path\to\ooo\setup.txt -debug

works like a charm for me at least

hope this helps a bit

cya

I'll have to try killerbee's method myself.

I had already made another solution before I found above. Its a cmd file called from RunonceEx with a vbs doing the Sendkeys. Let me know if anyone want's, I won't waste space posting it.

EDIT:
killerbee's method works easier

Me first I made an installation for the net with the parameter -net, later I used the packager web, that is free goes, to compact, it was with about 68mb, later I use in the script runonceex.cmd, for him to install in the hd, done this copies this script called openoffice.cmd for the menu to begin of all the users, because if some new one be created it will already install automatically, for me beauty works

Openoffice.cmd

CODE

echo off

ECHO Processando script de logon.....

IF EXIST "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\%username%\Dados de aplicativos\OpenOffice.org1.1.0" GOTO END
IF NOT EXIST "%programfiles%\OpenOffice\program\setup.exe" GOTO END

ECHO.
ECHO Completando a instalacao do OpenOffice - nao interrompa!!!
ECHO.

SET DESTINATIONPATH=%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\%username%\Dados de aplicativos\OpenOffice.org1.1.0
SET RESPFILE="%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\%username%\Dados de aplicativos\resp_oo.txt"

ECHO [ENVIRONMENT] > %RESPFILE%
ECHO INSTALLATIONMODE=INSTALL_WORKSTATION >> %RESPFILE%
ECHO INSTALLATIONTYPE=WORKSTATION >> %RESPFILE%
ECHO MIGRATION=NO >> %RESPFILE%
ECHO DESTINATIONPATH=%DESTINATIONPATH% >> %RESPFILE%
ECHO LANGUAGELIST=01 >> %RESPFILE%
ECHO STARTPROCEDURE= >> %RESPFILE%
ECHO ENDPROCEDURE=PostSetup >> %RESPFILE%
ECHO. >> %RESPFILE%

ECHO [JAVA] >> %RESPFILE%
ECHO JavaSupport=preinstalled_or_none >> %RESPFILE%
ECHO. >> %RESPFILE%
ECHO [Windows_Desktop_Integration] >> %RESPFILE%
ECHO RegisterForMsWord=Yes >> %RESPFILE%
ECHO RegisterForMsExcel=Yes >> %RESPFILE%
ECHO RegisterForMsPowerPoint=Yes >> %RESPFILE%
ECHO RegisterAsDefaultHtmlEditor=NO >> %RESPFILE%
ECHO. >> %RESPFILE%
ECHO [PROCEDURES] >> %RESPFILE%
ECHO Sub PostSetup >> %RESPFILE%
ECHO SetReboot(False) >> %RESPFILE%
ECHO End Sub >> %RESPFILE%

IF EXIST %RESPFILE% "%programfiles%\OpenOffice\program\setup.exe" -r %RESPFILE%

:END

I hope helps it

Using killerbee's method 1 thing need's changed

CODE

[Environment]
DestinationPath=C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org1.1.1

Thats the normal install folder for 1.1.1 otherwise thats simple enough

I'm not sure why, but when using Killerbee's method, I get an error about the Exit command not being correct or something (I don't recall the exactly what it said). It happened after the unpacking or installing (whichever uses the little progress bar and box next to it)... Here's what I'm doing:

CODE

HKLM,"%RunOnceEx%\install5",,,"Open Office 1.1.1"
HKLM,"%RunOnceEx%\install5",1,,"%24%\install\OOo\setup.exe -r:install\OOo\setup.txt -debug"

Right after that's run, a batch file deletes my install directory and restarts my computer (after 60 seconds). Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Looks so Infy
I call a .cmd file to take care of a few extra things from my runonceEX

CODE

REG ADD %KEY%\iAdd /VE /D "OpenOffice" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\iAdd /V 1 /D "cmd /C start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\OpenOffice\OpenOffice.cmd" /f

OpenOffice.cmd

CODE

cmdow @ /HID
%systemdrive%\Install\OpenOffice\setup.exe -r:%systemdrive%\Install\OpenOffice\setup.txt -debug
xcopy %systemdrive%\Install\OpenOffice\registry "%ProgramFiles%\OpenOffice.org1.1.1\user\registry\" /E /H /Y
DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\start menu\Programs\Startup\OpenOffice.org 1.1.1.lnk"
DEL "%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\OpenOffice.org 1.1.1.lnk"
EXIT

The registry folder contains my setup stuff copied from program files\user\registry

Just noticed in yours -r:install\OOo should be
-r:%systemdrive%\Install
or %24%\install I guess with Inf
Need the path

Can you disable the quickstarte icon using the silent install?

the code for runonceex should be:

QUOTE

REG ADD %KEY%\055 /VE /D "OpenOffice 1.1.0" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\055 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\install\openoffice\setup.exe -r:%CDROM%\install\openoffice\setup.txt -debug" /f

cdrom or systemdrive depending on the kind of install you chose, and the paths changed accordingly.

Yes look closely at my cmd file
DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\start menu\Programs\Startup\OpenOffice.org 1.1.1.lnk"
DEL "%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\OpenOffice.org 1.1.1.lnk"
One of them is what starts it. May not need the AllUsersProfile but it won't hurt.
