[Solved] Silent Installation, don't want registration window

[ehayut]

I am doing an openoffice.org silent installation. After the installation, I automatically copy a macro (used to convert docs to PDF) to C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application data\Open Office

The problem that I am encountering is that when I run this macro for the first time, the openoffice.org registration screen appears. I want to avoid this, as I do not want anyone to know that openoffice is being used for my conversions to pdf. Is there any way to not install the registration screen when doing a silent installation? Or, alternately, is there any way to run my macro without having the registration screen appear?

Here is my silent installation command:

Code: Select all

setup -qn SELECT_WORD=0 SELECT_EXCEL=0 SELECT_POWERPOINT=0 COMPANYNAME="Global Vision Inc." USERNAME="Test" INSTALLLOCATION="C:\Program Files\Global Vision\Rev 2\Converter" ADDLOCAL=gm_Root,gm_Prg,gm_r_Files_2,gm_r_Files_3,gm_r_Files_4,gm_r_Files_5,gm_r_Files_6,gm_r_Files_7,gm_r_Files_8,gm_r_Files_9,gm_r_Fonts_OOo_Hidden,gm_p_Wrt,gm_p_Wrt_Bin

Here is my macro:

Code: Select all

soffice.exe macro:///Standard.Module1.ConvertWordToPDF(C:\a.doc)

Thanks!!

Yes. Add -nofirststartwizard to the start options of your OOo command.

It should look like this then:

Code: Select all

soffice.exe -nofirststartwizard macro:///Standard.Module1.ConvertWordToPDF(C:\a.doc)

That worked great. one more question - I am still getting the openoffice.org splash screen. Is there any way to hide this? I've looked for documentation on this, but i can't find any.

thanks again

Edit: Found the command. It is -nologo
