NeoOffice on a Flash Drive

I have a problem and since I am new to this forum, I could really use your help. I have a 1GB flash drive I was able to install NeoOffice on and on the computer I was installing from, it seems to work well. But, unknown to me at the time, I can't seem to get the application to run on any other machine (which was part of why I wanted to use NeoOffice on the flash drive). According to the Console Utility App, the message was:

May 1 08:23:01 E422018038TRmS105 Classic[849]: AUTOUPDATE ERROR: problem setting up path to 'scrÆ’', path Scripts, err: -5000

So I am guessing that I need to install some other files on my other computers in order to get Neo Office to work. Which ones and how do I do it (installer? custom? Can't I just selectively install some files for it to work? Ideas?). Ahead of time, thanks for all your help.

What is in the crash log file at /Users/teacher/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/soffice.bin.crash.log?

Also, you're not trying to run NeoOffice on one of Apple's Intel machines, are you?

Also, not sure if it's related, but the name of the flash drive seems to have a space in it. You may want to try removing the space. I think that everything should be fine on volumes with spaces in their names, but to be honest I haven't tried it myself.

Patrick asked:

"What is in the crash log file at /Users/teacher/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/soffice.bin.crash.log? "

So far as I know, this is just the crash report for the system when the NeoOffice app failed to start up.

As to weather I am using this on an Intel Mac, nope. I am using only PPC's at home right now. I'm still wondering what files the system ist trying to access that it can't find on the Flash drive. Any Ideas?

Thanks ed, but I don't think it should make a difference what the name is as long as it is fine with the HFS+ architecture. But, in a pinch, I'll try anything.

Thanks Patrick, I'll give that a try and let you know what happens with the move. Do you still want to see the contents of the crash report? Let me know.

Patrick, et al

Talking with my computer instructor friend at work, he recommended that I give out some additional information about what I am doing:

[1] There is no system on the flash drive

[2] What fiels doew Neo Office install into the Library, etc?

[3] Is it possibly searching for files in the Library which don't exist because they were not installed on other workstation? Only app Neo Office is installed on USB Drive.

Thanks again, guys.

P.S. Oh, what ever the newest version of Neo Office is, I just downloaded on Saturday night, is what I am using.

One more thing to consider trying is downloading and installing Neo 1.2.2 and see if you get the same errors. If you don't get any errors with Neo 1.2.2, then that will give me a clue where to dig deeper.

Patrick,

Thanks for the info. If this works then I should have an office suite that will work on the flash drive and be seperate from any one computer (a portable office suite)? This is my goal, of course. I noticed on the downloads section that I didn't download any patches for Neo Office 1.2.2. I need to do this first before I unistall and reinstall, right? Thanks.

Patrick,

I think I need to reinstall Neo Office 1.2.2 but in a different way. I origionally installed the Office Suite directly to the Flash Drive. But, now I think I need to install the suite to my hard drive and then move it over to the flash drive because the USB was just not designed for that type of activity. What do you think?
