Apache OpenOffice 2.0 introduced a new way to install the product. Previous releases were using an installer which worked on all platforms in the same way. There was not much differences between an Apache OpenOffice installation on Windows and Solaris. On the other hand, this prevented the usage of Software deployment tools, which are becoming more and more popular. Those tools do not work well with the Apache OpenOffice installer technology, because they are designed to work with the most popular installer technology for each platform.

The OpenOffice.org installer can use the most popular installation packages for each platform, and network administrators can use the command line interface to deploy Apache OpenOffice through the network.

The graphical user interface is the simplest way to install Apache OpenOffice but it does not work for more complex installation scenarios, like unattended installations. This section describes the most important command line parameters for an Apache OpenOffice network installation.
