Open Office 3.4.1 Deployment - Error code 9020
Joshua A. Pirog
I think Apache has changed their packaging around with Open Office 3.4.1, since I'm not able to run the MSI directly from the unpackaged folder. I believe I used to be able to do that fine and deploy it that way.
With 3.4.1, it doesn't allow me to run the MSI file, it pops up a screen that says you have to run setup.exe. I've tried a few different parameters while doing this, /qn /silent /passive /norestart, etc...
None of those seem to work, any help on this?
Thanks

Hi,
OpenOffice 3.4.1 is available from the Package Library if you want to download it from there. If you already have the exe then the parameter to run silently is
Please note that the S is uppercase.
I just tried /S on setup.exe (the extracted file) as well as Apache_OpenOffice_incubating_3.4.1_Win_x86_install_en-US.exe and neither of those worked correctly. They still had dialogue popups but I was testing this through command line. I tried running setup.exe through pdq deploy and was stuck at installing.
Is this failing on a new install or an upgrade?
You can still use the MSI if you want. You should be able to add this to the parameters field.
This should trick the installation into believing that it was called from setup.exe. If you do use the MSI make sure to check the "Include Entire Directory" option.
