[wpkg-users] Java and OpenOffice

[Brian May]

Hello,

I adopted Java and Open Office packages files from:

http://wpkg.org/Java
http://wpkg.org/OpenOffice.org_2.x

The Java package recommends removing old versions of Java before 
installing, so I have done so. See the bottom of email for both scripts.

The problem is that OpenOffice 2.4 fails to install because it can't
find java\jre-6u4-windows-i586-p.exe, because I didn't copy it
(the instructions in the OpenOffice page exclude this file).

This is despite the fact I have JRE 6 update 5 installed.

So it would appear in order to use Open Office installed, I have to have 
the older JRE installed too, and I should perhaps alter my Java packages 
script not to remove it.

Can anybody here confirm or deny?

Thanks

Brian May
