Installation crashed
Last modified: 2003-09-08 16:53:51 UTC
After about 95 % of the installation done, the installation programm crashed with this error: SETUP verursachte einen Fehler durch eine ungültige Seite in Modul VCL641MI.DLL bei 0167:1c6319a8. Register: EAX=00cdab98 CS=0167 EIP=1c6319a8 EFLGS=00010282 EBX=00000012 SS=016f ESP=00a9f838 EBP=00000000 ECX=d6069840 DS=016f ESI=00cdab98 FS=5977 EDX=00023d24 ES=016f EDI=0000001d GS=5 The OS is WIN98SE with no service pack applied. The error was reproduced 2 times with the current version of openoffice (download file OOo_1.0.0_Win32Intel_install_de.zip, date: 2002-05-03) Thanks for your help. Mathias Beckmann
Resolution: Java was not installed on this system. Please add to the installation manual, that java is _ABSOLUTELY_ necessary. Otherwise there may be misunderstandings. Mathias Beckmann
Is this reproducible in OOo 1.0.1?
sorry, I don't have OOo1.0.1 yet. But with the previous version, it was only a misunderstandig _in_the_documentation_. To verify this, install OOo on a system _without_ java. Thanks, Mathias Beckmann
I've tried on a box without Java: OOo 1.0 is running. Installation without crash, so I don't think (and I would have bet) that Java is necessary for OOo installation.
Works for me.
