== OpenOffice Extensions ==
 
Similar to Firefox extensions, if you install OpenOffice extensions from within OpenOffice (using Tools &rarr; Extension Manager) they're installed per-user; if you install them from the command-line (using unopkg.exe), they're installed per-machine.
 
Extensions are set to either only be allowed to be installed per-user, not per-machine; or they can be installed per-machine but will prompt upon installation for the licence to be accepted (despite the fact the LGPL doesn't have to be accepted by the end user). This presents some difficulty in automating an installation of OpenOffice extensions.
For reference, see [http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/Extensions/Simple_License OpenOffice.org wiki's Simple License].
(If anyone knows how to work around this please add that information here, for example how to use a batch file to do something like 'yes|unopkg add --shared extension.oxt.)
 
For instructions on automating installation of OpenOffice extensions, per-machine, see [http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/Extensions/unopkg OpenOffice.org's wiki on unopkg].
