Several have asked, here is how we did it.
Installing Open Office on a Terminal Server can
be done both via command line using the change
user command or via the control panel.
- Click on start > Run > and key in
cmd and click OK
- At the command prompt type in "change
user /install" (without the quotes) and hit
enter.
-
- upon receiving User session
is ready to install applications,
proceed to the next step.
- Assuming you have already downloaded the
installer for OpenOffice, go ahead and CD to
the directory where it resides.
- Type in the name of the exe (example:
Win32Intel_install_wjre_en-US.exe) and press
enter.
- At the first prompt for the
OpenOffice.org 3.1 Installer, click on Next
-
- Now, select the where you want to unpack
the contents of the installer. Change path
if necessary, if not click on unpack to
proceed
-
- Assuming you have enough space, you
the unpack should occur as anticipated
and you will be prompted with a success.
- At the Installation wizard start, click
on Next to proceed.
- Key in your username and organization,
and select which option you want to choose
(all users, or only for me) click on next >
when ready
-
- At the setup type prompt select custom
and click on next!
-
- Make your selections, if there is a
component (writer, calc, draw, base, math)
that you dont want, click on the down arrow
and slect this feature will not be
available.
-
- after you have made your selections,
click on next to proceed..
- Here is your last opportunity to make
any necessary changes. Click back to change
and click on "install" to proceed.
- Note: java 6 update 16 will be
installed as part of the OpenOffice 3.1
install
- After you are finished, hop back into
your command window and key in "change user
/execute" (without the quotes)
- Reboot and have fun!
