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 3.3.2 does not replace previous OpenOffice installations (but LibreOffice 3.3 beta was doing so). Keep this in mind in your package management. You may like to remove OpenOffice before installing LibreOffice.
Common Install Options
- REGISTER_ALL_MSO_TYPES : Use LibreOffice as the default application for Microsoft Office file formats
- ALLUSERS (default=1) : Install shortcuts in All Users directory
- ISCHECKFORPRODUCTUPDATE (default=1) : Check for updates
- CREATEDESKTOPLINK (default=1) : Create desktop shortcuts
OpenOffice has a wiki page for this; most of the OpenOffice options are nearly the same for LibreOffice.
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 it with the Microsoft ORCA tool (or InstEd). Alternaly create a transform file to use with the MSI installer.
With the ORCA tool the main interesting sections are 'Property' and 'Feature'.

<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'.
