I have recently downloaded Open Office 3.0 release candidate as an alternative to MS Office. However I have been unable to get PowerWorship to work with this.
Is this because it is not compatible with OOo 3, or because I can not have both the PowerPoint and OOo versions of PowerWorship installed, or is there something else I should be doing?
(By the way I have Vista OS)
Cheers
OpenOffice 3.0
Sorry for the delay in responding. You can have both versions of PowerWorship installed, so that's not the issue. Vista OS should also be OK. I'll download OOo 3.0 and see if I can get it working (just following the instructions posted on this forum) or if there is some special setup required, or ? If I can't get it working, I may need to make some code changes to fix whatever is failing on the new version.
I downloaded OpenOffice 3 and, sure enough, it doesn't work with PowerWorship. The reason is because they moved the java libraries around and consequently the classpath is now invalid in the pworship.bat launch script. For example, the libraries are no longer under OO_HOME/program/classes.
I will need to create a new launch script for OpenOffice 3, and that should take care of the problem. I will post an update when I have it working on Windows XP.

OpenOffice.org 3 update
An update is now available for OpenOffice.org 3.0, for Windows.
To install the update, first delete the existing PowerWorshipMP_0.1 directory (e.g. C:\Program Files\PowerWorshipMP_0.1 is the default location) and then reinstall PowerWorship by repeating installation steps 2 through 4, as they are documented here: The MacOS/Linux installation packages have not been updated yet. I will post a reply when updates are available for MacOS and Linux.

Re: OpenOffice 3.0
Are you seeing a specific problem on Windows XP?
The current script should work for Windows and Mac OS.
