As network administrator of the primaryschool I work for, I'm trying to install OPenOffice.org 1.0.3 on our computers. On our NT 4, W2k, XP PCs this gives me some problems. The installation works only for the user who installed it. A solution for the problem should be to copy the file sversion.ini in the right folder of every user. In one w2k this procedure has succeded. In another w2k and in XPs the attempt has failed and the risult was an error message concernig the application-exe file that the current-user is trying to use (ooowriter.exe or ooocalc.exe or ...). Has anybody experienced the problem and found a solution?
Cheers,
Piero

I dont know if this will help you, but how we do it where I work is we create a local user called default on the XP or 2000 machine and install all the programs they need and then copy that default user to the Default User that the computer uses. I hope that doesnt sound too confusing. If you need help on how to do this just email me and I can send you some of my documentation on it.

Good luck!
