I want to install OOo on my office desktop but (like so many of us) I don't have admin rights Running the install unpacks to the desktop in the usual way but then fails as it tries to install from the unpacked files. Are there, somewhere, instructions for moving the unpacked files into place manually? Alternatively is there a.zip version I can download and unpack in a place I specify - for example, Eclipse is supplied as a.zip and so long as I unpack it somewhere other than 'C:Program Files' it works fine; a.zip version of OOo that does the same thing would be very, very useful.This is for OOo 3.2 (without the JRE - my machine already has that in place) on WinXP 32bit. Unfortunately the paranoid security where I work has decided to block portableapps.com, so if I want to go that way it'll have to wait until I get home (which, actually, is why I was asking the question - I have a document I need to work on right away, and in any case I'd like 3.2 because of the MSWord file format support).

What's the latest version they have available as a portable? (The one I have on here right now is 3.0.1, and it's giving me some problems with drawings hence another reason to update to a later version.). I think I need to clarify. I write docs at work with OOWriter (the portable version, of course), and I always keep them as.odt files. If I need to hand off a doc to someone else I save as MSWord format and send that, or alternatively export as a PDF. I don't use MSWord unless I really, really have to - it gets clunkier and harder to use with every version that comes out, but it's the 'official' in-house WP so we're kinda stuck with it.

But thanks to OOo, I can generally avoid that POS and with file format support improving in OOo it gets better as time goes on.The doc I'm working on right now is for work, so I have no need or desire to take it home, and even if I did I would take it as an ODT file (I have 3.2 on my home desktop, and you won't find any MSOffice stuff on there).So I can use the portable version, but in general they tend to lag behind the latest release by quite a bit. It would be nice if I could always get the latest version and unpack it without requiring admin rights, which is one reason I was asking if it's possible. (The other reason being that I'd really like to get 3.2 on here within the next hour or two, since the 3.0.1 portable version I'm using keeps screwing up my drawings.).

Is there something in OOo that really, really needs to have admin priv to work? Or is it, as I suspect, just the installation process?

I think it must be possible to do this - the portable version I've been using works just fine (apart from the drawing problem I mentioned) and if it's missing features that had to be torn out to make it work without admin rights, I don't know what they are and they're obviously nothing I can't live without (since if I needed 'em, I'd know they weren't there). So why can't we have a non-installer Windows version?I'm not trying to be argumentative here - it's just that I don't really see this as specifically an OS problem, or least not a problem that couldn't be fixed.
