First, download the OpenOffice .org installer (i.e. OOo_2.4_Win32Intel_install4.1_Win32Intel_install_en-US.exe) from [http://download.openoffice.org/indexother.html OpenOffice.org] Website. Make sure to uncheck "Include the Java JRE with this download" to download the package without the bundled JRE.<br>Run the installer - it creates a directory named ''OpenOffice.org 2.4 (en-US) Installation Files'', which includes several files.

This extension disables the First Start/Registration Wizard.

You can customize your instalation installation by using the following supported installer parameters: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/How_Tos/Automatic_Installation_on_Windows

''Note'' If you install i.e. OO OOo 2.24.1 it also announces itself as OO 2.2 4 in the Software repository. To know if it got installed, replace the

<check type="registry" condition="exists" path="HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenOffice.org\OpenOffice.org\2.24\{E4C7B3EF80851370-B3DB07CF-4BB6477B-A812837D-E8FAE47534D3F2E488916CFE}\INSTALLLOCATION" />

The uninstall ID can be checked from the file ''setup.ini'' in the directory ''OpenOfficeorg OpenOffice.org 2.0 4 (en-US) Installation Files''

''Question'' Does "uninstall ID" mean "{CE91484F80851370-B0CF07CF-4494477B-8BA6837D-7242EE913626F2E488916CFE}" or "OpenOffice.org 2.0"?
