Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 117465
Flash drive install removes PC installation
Last modified: 2017-02-13 22:43:55 UTC
I needed to send my boy to school with a presentation that did not work when saved as .ppt (because a .flv movie was included). As no viewer available, forum suggested install Impress on flash drive along with .odp etc. Result for flash drive was perfect if VERY slow, but removed OO installation from PC! * Suggest partial flash drive (secondary) install as option (leaving main install intact). Might also work on a CD or any removable media? Didn't care too much as needed to upgrade PC from 3.2 to 3.3 anyway, but then found new install failed because flash drive no longer present. My work around was to remove all D: and OpenOffice entries from registry by hand. 100s of them! * Would be much better if install did not fail when old install drive is no longer present. * Would also be good if flash drive install did not invoke the registration pages when presented to the new PC. Of course the whole issue could be avoided if a complete executable product could be zipped into the document with its associated files, but that is for another wish list and would probably take a lot of coding and constant update with new releases.
getting rid of value "enhancement" for field "severity". For enhancement the field "issue type" shall be used.
Solution will be a wizard to export a presentation *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of issue 84841 ***
