Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 16800
No system requiremets in OOo 1.1 RC README
Last modified: 2004-08-12 18:15:40 UTC
On unpacking the 1.1 Beta 2 package and running the setup.exe, the installer starts, gets to the end of its scroll bar, then halts with the error: C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\SV1.TMP\SETUP.EXE One of the library files needed to run this application cannot be found. UNICOWS.DLL Abort/Retry/Ignore ...of which only Abort does anthing other than come back to the error dialog.
This is a known issue. OOo is not allowe to bundle with this dll so you have to download at microsoft. Your issue points me to the readme that misses the system requirements. So I would like to use this issue for reporting this -> changing the summary.
the system requirement document does list unicows.dll - see http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/sys_reqs.html, and so will the new 1.1rc system requirements document - http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/sys_reqs_11.html the readme file also talks about this (at least in 1.1rc)
Created attachment 7639 [details] Readme file from RC
Have a look on the attached readme, there is nothing about unicows.dll, and the link http://www.openoffice.org/welcome/readme.html leads to a 1.0.x documentation.
apparently unicopws.dll is no longer needed, marking as duplicate of #12788# new system readme is in the 1.1 needed documents list *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 12788 ***
Closing ...
