I'm creating a module for OpenOffice.org, my first module.

I'm basing it off of the guide to the APM format (http://www.autopatch...cumentation.zip).

OOo uses an MSI with some custom switches, which I'm not using.

The latest version is 2.4.1

My problem is that OOo installs itself in a dirctory by version number, a fresh install of version 2.2 will install in C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.2\ by default. But any upgrades will install in the same directory so upgrading to 2.4 would also install in C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.2\.

I can tie the module to the version easily enough but what if the user is using the module to upgrade?

Here's my module so far:

Can someone please help?
