Comment 5 gorden.lin 2004-09-23 04:57:49 UTC 
deuce => of: I have tried package in 
http://ftp.stardiv.de/pub/OpenOffice.org/developer/680_m54/, firstly I tried
OOo_1.9.m54_native_Win32Intel_install.zip, but one file( openofficeorg1.cab ) is
currupt( you can check it ) so I just use
OOo_1.9.m54_native_Win32Intel_install_de.zip as a test. 

I found that in administrator mode, all went well and no error reported, both
install for all users or only for current user, both full installation or part
installation. but in non-administrator mode, the Error is reported, this is due
to the current user has limited right to access certain registry key. hope my
test case is similiar as yours, we will fix this. 

deuce => tra: in this version of OpenOffice. only shlxthdl.dll is registered,
ooofilt.dll is not registered, do not know if it is a differece between
StarOffice and OpenOffice.org, in StarOffice, shlxthdl.dll and ooofilt.dll will
all installed, I tested also, similiar as above, only in non-administrator mode,
ooofilt.dll and shlxthdl.dll will all report an error, ignore will proceed, but
one other bug( not related with our shell extension handler) will cause
installation process stalled and rolling back.
Comment 6 tino.rachui 2004-09-24 06:12:41 UTC 
The problem is that shlxthdl.dll which contains and registers Windows Shell
extensions is linked against the gdiplus.dll from Microsoft which is only
available on Windows XP by default. With StarOffice this library will be
redistributed but OOo is not allowed to do so. We must and will still clarify if
we can ship this library with OOo too. Until then you are able to download the
library yourself from www.microsoft.com and put it into your system directory so
that it will be found. Otherwise the shell extensions for Windows will simply
not work which has no influence on the OOo itself.

Fixed
Comment 8 drc 2004-10-07 13:41:50 UTC 
I installed m54 on W98SE with no problem, but fell foul of this bug on W98
(notSE).
Comment 9 ingenstans 2004-10-12 07:17:51 UTC 
still here on m56 with Windows 2000
Comment 10 tino.rachui 2004-10-12 07:31:39 UTC 
It's still there because the fix is not yet integrated ;-) You need to download
the gdiplus.dll from the Microsoft library manually to make it work.

Comment 14 tino.rachui 2004-10-25 09:10:04 UTC 
Happened on systems which don't have a gdiplus.dll (from Microsoft) by default,
e.g. Windows 2000, Windows 9x
