Description floeff+ooo 2006-01-15 13:36:40 UTC 
I seek for an option to disable the first-time wizard for minor builds.
Especially in large networks it is annoying that a user has to complete the
license and user information dialogue everytime a new version is installed, even
if its just 2.0.0 -> 2.0.1.

Only major version (2.0 -> 2.1) should ask for the dialogue again. An even
better solution would be to completely disable it on system administrators
settings, e.g. via INI files.

In StarOffice 8, a product update does NOT re-invoke the first-time wizard.

according to http://qa.openoffice.org/issue_handling/workflowcharts/
RFE_issues_by_QA.sxd I reassign this issue to requirements and set the status 
to New

of: Disabling doesn't make sense. First time users with a minor won't see this
StartUp wizard.

Duplicate.
Comment 4 floeff+ooo 2006-01-16 08:52:11 UTC 
of: Wrong! Upon upgrading from 2.0.0 to 2.0.1, the wizard appears again.
Upgrading from 2.0.1 to m149 shows this wizard again, and from m149 to m150
brings it up as well.
Comment 5 floeff+ooo 2006-01-16 08:53:39 UTC 
Are you sure this is a duplicate? Reopening issue, because my issue has nothing
to do with migrating settings and hiding some options in the first-time wizard.
What I want is that the first-time wizard is not shown at all when the user
already run it with major version.
Comment 6 Olaf Felka 2006-01-16 09:24:36 UTC 
Disabling the startup wizard at all doesn't make sense because first time users
won't see it. That's true! It should be disabled for users that still have a
Openoffice2.x configuration. And therefor it should stay open to proceed.
Comment 7 floeff+ooo 2006-01-16 09:31:03 UTC 
That's what I meant:

User already had OOo 1.0.x or 1.1.x: First-time wizard appreas
User already had OOo 2.0.x: First-time wizard does NOT appear
Comment 8 markomlm 2006-02-13 10:32:41 UTC 
For the use of OOo in networks with more than hundred users it is a big task for
the admin and the support teams to explain to the users, why the first time
wizard pops up and it seams that nothing is changed (typical for a minor update).

You have to prepare every user-profil before the first start of the new release
to prevent the pop-up of the first-time wizard and that is ugly!

Keep in mind: For a typical user is any system-message like that a kind of
horror and he will ask You what is wrong, what changed and so on...

A workaround is to modify the according XCU file and set a high
LicenseAcceptedDate (or whatever this field is called). Howerver, having it work
similar to StarOffice, where minor updates don't present a new FTW, would be good.
Comment 10 floeff+ooo 2009-06-13 21:04:21 UTC 
To my experience, seems to work in more recent builds (like 3.0 -> 3.0.1).
