However one also needs to know which of the others to install as well to ensure that the
module needed is fully functional. The following list should provide sufficient information to
allow a good decision in this situation:
Module
openoffice.org-gnome-integration-*.rpm
openoffice.org-graphicfilter-*.rpm
openoffice.org-javafilter-*.rpm
openoffice.org-pyuno-*.rpm
openoffice.org-spellcheck-*.rpm
openoffice.org-testtool-*.rpm
openoffice.org-xsltfilter-*.rpm
Installing multiple instances of OpenOffice.org with the same
version number
There are occasions when having multiple copies of OpenOffice.org available is important; for
example, when one works in more than one language and using a language pack is insufficient.
The following procedure shows a way to successfully accomplish this task.
Windows
1. Open Windows START MENU > RUN ...
2. Enter the path and file to setup.exe OR browse to the location where this file
exists.
3. Add, at the end of the line (i.e. after setup.exe), a space and the characters forward
slash and a as follows: " /a"
4. Click OK
5. Start setup
6. Select the location in which to install OpenOffice.org
Note: When you install the OpenOffice.org with the option /a then you have NO system integration. In
other words, no start menu entries and no file associations are set.
