Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 17564
Workstation installation of 1.1RC2 affects already installed 1.0.3

$ /opt/OpenOffice.org1.1RC/setup syntax error at token : /home/michael/OpenOffice.org1.0.3/instdb.ins: line 169, 'mimelnk' expected ';' If I remove (rename) /home/michael/OpenOffice.org1.0.3 workstation installation works as expected.
I've made a -net installation of OOo 1.0.3.1 and 1.1 (current inhouse version 645m15), then I've started a workstation installation of 1.0.3.1. After that I've started the workstation installation of 1.1. Setup offers to install 1.1 in a new directory or to update 1.0.3. After doing an update everything works fine, no error at installation. I suggest that if there has been a bug, it's fixed for (one of) the next builds.
Thanx for your help.
Sorry, this issue still has not been solved with 1.1RC3. Still the same error message is shown on the console and setup program hangs. I wanted to install in a *separate* directory having 1.0.3.1 and 1.1RC3 used parallel.
So there must be a problem in your 1.0.3 installation.
It's not reproducible for me.
I think this depends on a somehow damaged 1.0.3 file.
