Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 9283
WINXP SP1: Installation corrupted, unable to run any OOo components, setup also troubling
Last modified: 2008-05-17 23:11:09 UTC
I run WinXP SP1 english. When I install OOo 1.0.1 german it does finish without any problems. Yet I cannot start any of the components including this autostart thing afterwards. The first time I did install OOo did start the setup whenever i tried to run any component from the OOo suite, which automatically tried to repair my installation, but was missing c:\program files\Open Office 1.0.1\program\soffice.ini. Next I placed this file which I found in the zip package in this very dir, but this resulted in setup stating something about being already installed or such. Next I checked this website and found one similar description ( ID 9080 ). I then tried the proposal in 9080 comment by of@openoffice.org, as I was too unable to uninstall (neither via installer from the package, nor via Add/Remove dialogue in Windows (( either one was missing giving me this message about already being installed and that i should reinstall, which was not possible )) ). Now that i could uninstall i reinstalled the suite but now the issue is a different one. This time I am unable to start any component as well, but it doesn't automatically run the setup anymore. Now it gives me some error message in german (Application cannot be started. Configuration Manager cannot be created.). Repairing the installation has no effect on this problem.
Created attachment 3618 [details] Dr. Watson error log from the OOo setup.exe application.

Thank you for using and supporting OOo. Are you performing a multi-user setup followed by a workstation setup? I know I've seen this issue in IZ before but I cannot find it. I think SP1 fixes something with the Java component. If possible uninstall the MS Java component and OOo, install Java from java.sun.com and reinstall OOo. Then again, I could be dreaming.
Hi DUDE, are you installingand using OOo 1.0.1 with different user account? On my XP -Box OOo is running fine ( also english XP and german OOo). It might help if you give me a step-by-step description.
Hello prgmgr, > Thank you for using and supporting OOo. Thank you for being part of such a lovely piece of open source software and supporting me. > Are you performing a multi-user setup followed by a workstation setup? Please precise your question about that multi-user setup stuff. I have a basic installation, one machine, no network installation or boot. > I know I've seen this issue in IZ before but I cannot find it. I don't know what you are reffering to as IZ ? > I think SP1 fixes something with the Java component. If possible > uninstall the MS Java component and OOo, install Java from > java.sun.com and reinstall OOo. AFAIK the Virtual Machine, MS's java engine, cannot be deinstalled. anyways i would rather not deinstall. i have the latest java installed straight from java.sun.com (1.4.1_01). > Then again, I could be dreaming. ?!? :-)
I only have one account on my XP OS running ( exept of standard admin logons and stuff.. ). i have tried to be as precise as i can in the issue description, so if you need any further information please precisly state what you need and i will see if i can give it to you.
Have you tried to remove OOo and reinstalled? Delete destination folder C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org1.0.1\ and sversion.ini and retry. C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org1.0.1\Please try a destination without blanks in path, maybe that might help. BTW: The different installation modes are described in the setup guide.pdf or you can find it on the web pages of OOo.
I installed OOo the common way and not as Network Installation for all users (setup.exe /net). I reinstalled to C:\1\2\ but experienced the same issues again (Corrupted Install, Setup crashin tryin to repair, unable to uninstall).
can you please try to download 1.1 Rc4 please. I think we can close this 1.0.1 is very old
I think we can close this, because not enough information, and very old without any activity
