I'm at work now so I'll have to try it when I get home this afternoon. However I manually looked through and didn't find any directory from StarOffice. I have installed it before on other machines and it goes through a whole installation gui on the screen, but this didn't do that this time (could be because I installed the wrong one;->) Thanks for the help guys...
