How To - OpenOffice 1.x.x < 2.0 Multiuser Install for Windows
This OpenOffice installation instructions are intended for OpenOffice 1.x.x < 2.0. This means in future release of OpenOffice 2.0 or greater these instructions should not apply as the installation process will be different. When that time comes I will update the instructions.
- Run setup.exe - with /net parameter. This can be done by right mouse clicking on “setup.exe” and left mouse clicking on create shortcut.
- Next right mouse click on the shortcut and then left mouse click on “Properties”.
- Under the “Target” field scroll all the way to the end. Put a space after the double quote and type “/net” without quotes.
- Left mouse click on “Ok”.
- Now just double mouse click on the shortcut you just created in step one.
- During the installation of OpenOffice make sure to select “Workstation” installation. If it installed correctly you should now have an OpenOffice directory under “C:\Program Files”.
- For each user that will be using OpenOffice on the computer you will need to login to their profile and go where you installed OpenOffice (i.e. “C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org1.1.5″) and double mouse click on “OpenOffice.org Setup” shortcut. This will complete the setup and configuration of OpenOffice for each individual user.
