LibreOffice is an office suite. It is a fork of OpenOffice, and a replacement of Novell's Go-OO, managed by the Document Foundation. See www.libreoffice.org
Contents
Get LibreOffice
Download LibreOffice from www.libreoffice.org/download/
You need the program itself:
- LibO_3.x.x_Win_x86_install_multi.exe
or
- LibO_3.x.x_Win_x86_install_all_lang.exe (for uncommon languages)
Additionaly you may want to install the help package for your language, for example:
- LibO_3.x.x_Win_x86_helppack_en-US.exe 8.6
Dependencies
The Java Runtime Environment is a software prerequiste for LibreOffice, thus is a <depends> of the package.
Dual Installation with OpenOffice
LibreOffice does not replace an already installed OpenOffice (though LibreOffice 3.3 beta did), so you may like to remove OpenOffice before installing LibreOffice.
Common Installer Options
- ALLUSERS (default=1) - performs a per-user installation or per-machine installation depending on the access privileges of the user
- CREATEDESKTOPLINK (default=1) - Create desktop shortcuts
- INSTALLLOCATION - specify installation directory
- ISCHECKFORPRODUCTUPDATE (default=1) - Check for updates
- REGISTER_ALL_MSO_TYPES - Use LibreOffice as the default application for Microsoft Office file formats
- REMOVE - remove specified components
OpenOffice has a wiki page with MSI properties, most of which apply to LibreOffice.
Uninstall Strings
Get the uninstall string for your particular language from 'productcode' in setup.ini.
LibreOffice
English (US/GB)
- 3.4.3 - 7821C7B2-7E21-4CF3-925B-58B6A8BC6311
- 3.4.2 - F1161EC6-7CC1-4D9F-83F6-8839C17019C2
- 3.4.1 - 528882DF-7239-436F-811B-F48F4179D017
LibreOffice Help Pack
English (GB)
- 3.4.3 - 522C02C1-B575-4E1E-81CF-FBAEA22B6532
- 3.4.2 - 31FCEE1C-7E49-4B2F-9376-617151B1BA4D
- 3.4.1 - C41B221F-FB0D-4B1E-9048-2A4D40BDB202
LibreOffice 3.4.x
Unpack the LibreOffice installer (.exe) and help file installer (.exe) with an archive tool (for example 7-zip, or using the installer itself).
Copy the unpacked files to your server.
If required, for example to change installer options or to remove unnecessary languages, modify the MSI file or create a transform (.mst) file using an MSI editor such as Microsoft ORCA or InstEd. The main interesting sections to configure in the MSI are 'Property' and 'Feature'.
The exact version number is gleaned from setup.ini.
For the <remove> tags, these packages use the English (GB) uninstall string. Either use the uninstall string for your particular language, gleaned from 'productcode' in setup.ini, or leave the .msi file for the particular version on your server and use that (not as straight forward).

LibreOffice 3.3.x
This is based on the OpenOffice 3.2.1 package script.
Unpack the LibreOffice installer (.exe) and help file installer (.exe) with an archive tool (for example 7-zip, or using the installer itself).
Copy the unpacked files to your server.
If required, for example to change installer options or to remove unnecessary languages, modify the MSI file or create a transform (.mst) file using an MSI editor such as Microsoft ORCA or InstEd. The main interesting sections to configure in the MSI are 'Property' and 'Feature'.
LibreOffice
<package id="libreoffice" name="LibreOffice" revision="3" reboot="false" priority="10">

</package>
LibreOffice Help Pack
<package id="libreoffice_help" name="LibreOffice Help Pack" revision="2" reboot="false" priority="10">
<variable name="PKG_VERSION" value="3.3.2" />
<variable name="INS_VERSION" value="3.3" />

<remove cmd='msiexec /qn /X "%SOFTWARE%\LibreOffice\LibO_%PKG_VERSION%_Win_x86_helppack_%SHORT_LANG%\libreoffice33.msi"' />
</package>
Note: For the <remove> tag I have used the .msi file itself to get rid of the fact that the uninstall strings in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall are language dependent. But this requires you to keep the .msi file on the server for removing software. You may prefer to use remove strings such as:
<!-- language dependent msiexec remove strings (here the czech ones) -->
<remove cmd='msiexec /qn /X{CEE2613D-3B53-4447-BA2D-E88C08272581}' />
<remove cmd='msiexec /qn /X{04A88043-281E-4E32-B878-343B51F56F2E}' />
You will have to use the string relevant to your language. These strings are held in setup.ini, under 'productcode'.
