Description mbr 2003-03-28 19:14:47 UTC 
If soffice does not get started from within the program
dir a message window pops up telling me:

The application could not be started:

Unable to create instance of com.sun.start.office.SplashScreen

Any ideas where to look and how to fix this ?

Hi Lars, please have check this problem. Looks like your service
cannot be created during OOo startup.
Comment 2 lo 2003-03-31 14:57:36 UTC 
The SplashScreen service gets registered at install time. If it cannot
be instantiated, startup aborts because the installation could be
flawed - but this will be changed, so we can start without it.
Since it works when you start inside the program directory but the
SpalshScreen is the first UNO service that gets instanciated I belive
that teh UNO runtime is not able to load the component; could be an
LD_LIBRARY_PATH related issue. Usually the soffice startscript takes
care of including the program-dir in LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Comment 3 mbr 2003-03-31 15:04:33 UTC 
Hi,

Note that it happens with or without soffice script. If I set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH manually to the program dir, the error is still
the same.

So this is a different issue :(

The usage of the splashscreen can be disabled quit easily. in
desktop/source/app/app.cxx:1231 rSplashScreen is created disable this
line and all calls to XStatusIndicator::start(), setValue() and end()
in app.cxx (setvalue is used throughou Desktop::Main()) and line 1551,
the splashscreen is closed.
If this solves your problem, there is a special problem with the
splashscreen service which I will fix, when the next UNO service
(ConfigMgr) fails too, we might have a problem with the UNO runtime.

sorry, there is also calls to setValue in
desktop/src/wrp/offwrp/wrapper.cxx, those need to be disabled aswell
