Andre <[email protected]> has canceled [email protected]'s request for 4.0.0_release_blocker: Bug 122560: msiexec installation only possible with parameter "/i" https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=122560
------- Additional Comments from Andre <[email protected]> If you start msiexec without the /qn option it shows one message box reading "Please use the file setup.exe to start the installation.". This comes from a rule in the MSI file encoded in the main/instsetoo_native/inc_openoffice/windows/msi_templates/LaunchCo.idt file: (VersionNT < 600) or (SETUP_USED=1) or Installed OOO_LAUNCH_2 with OOO_LAUNCH_2 being the id of the message text quoted above. This basically means that on everything before Vista the MSI could be installed as is, while on Vista and above (Windows7 and Windows8) you need to run the setup.exe. The line was checked in on Dezember 4th, 2009 with the comment: #i96594# Allow customization of 'register for Microsoft File Types' in custom setup Running the setup.exe is a little different from only installing the MSI. Setup.exe can also run other commands and executables. This includes redistributables for some Windows libraries and, like above, registration as handler for Microsoft file types. In other words, this is not a bug, it's a feature. Removing the release blocker flag. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
