  Your error message is odd... it implies there is a 'program' directory under /OpenOffice4/Program somewhere. I don't see that here... maybe you set that up yourself? How did you install AOO?

Actually... it is the same program.  Notice, it is  \program\..\program  the .. takes it up a level from program and then back into program.  It looks odd but should work fine.

Hi David

I unzipped OO4 - and then downloaded, unzipped and installed (hopefully) all required DLL files not already installed.

The unzipped DLL files went into \ecs\dll.

All duplicate files are eCS (OS/2) files.

I have several other OO installations: OO3 and OO2 both of which are not very reliable and OO115 for Windows running via ar5os2.exe which is the most stable, reliable and useable of all the OO packages to date. None of these packages have entries in config.sys and nothing in the Startup folder.

There are some INI file entries for the OO Desktop Objects plus Registry entries for font j:\programs\openoffice3\fonts\opens_.ttf and focpoo3.dll  - OpenOfficeOrg document types - not sure which OO build.


Yes, the error message looks odd but the path should work. If I use the following on a command line:-

[J:\PROGRAMS]cd \PROGRAMS\OPENOFFICE4\PROGRAM\..\program

[J:\PROGRAMS\OPENOFFICE4\program]


It results in a directory change to /PROGRAMS/OPENOFFICE4/PROGRAM

Basically the "/../program" is redundant so deploy.dll should be found as it exists in J:/PROGRAMS/OPENOFFICE4/PROGRAM/../program.


My best guess is that either a(some) required DLL file(s) are not at the required build level or maybe I've managed to miss extracting 1 (or more) required DLL file(s) from the "packaged for unix" zip files.

Guess I'll have to wait for a later build that contains all required files or at least a comprehensive list of required files/build levels.


Regards

Pete

Pete, you might try what I did... rename your OO3 directory and then recreate it and put the 004 files in it in the same locations that OO3 was in.  I did that just in case there were any ini entries that came into play.  Also, I put the oowps DLL in there so that it works like it did with OO3.

Hi Andy

I thought it would be easier to uninstall OO2 and OO3 as neither package is worth having installed.

However, this seems to have left some OO3 entries that checkini reveals and cleanini does not get rid of - nor does DMT.

I would use IniEditor to manually remove those entries but IniEditor cannot find them...

What other tools are available to remove these ini file entries?

As there is not an OO4 installer, I decided to just swap it out so that if something needed to be there it would be.
