At least for 3.x and 4.x releases I had to do the following tweaks:
1. Extract files from msi
Possibly it would make sense to use administrative install instead?
Possibly that would also make almost all the rest of the steps unnecessary?
msiexec -a path\to\msi
and then point where to extract the files (I'd just point to the
destination "instdir" directory, so that the usual "program", "share",
etc. are under it). This should create a usable directory structure, and
only require the tweak of program/bootstrap.ini.
2. Move *.dll files in URE/bin to instdir/program
3. Move *.rdb files in URE/misc to instdir/program
4. Move msvcp* and msvcr* from Win/System/ to instdir/program
5. Append to instdir/program/uno.ini
[Bootstrap]
URE_INTERNAL_LIB_DIR=\${ORIGIN}
URE_INTERNAL_JAVA_DIR=\${ORIGIN}/classes
URE_INTERNAL_JAVA_CLASSPATH=\${URE_MORE_JAVA_TYPES}
UNO_TYPES=\${ORIGIN}/types.rdb \${URE_MORE_TYPES}
UNO_SERVICES=\${ORIGIN}/services.rdb \${URE_MORE_SERVICES}
I never needed this, when I used the admin install option.
6. Change UserInstallation in instdir/program/bootstrap.ini ( to use a
different user profile )
Yes, this is a needed step.
7. touch instdir/ure-link ( so calling .exe files directly works )
I haven't needed this.
8. Remove instdir/share/extensions/ so we can save some space
