If you install it without the /net option accidentally you should be able to either run the install again and choose uninstall. There is a . file in you home dir when installed, SO checks for this. remove this hidden file, and then reinstall, all should be fine with using /net then. That is how 5.2 was at least. I haven't used Star Office in quite some time now.

Install SO with the /net option 2. Change directory to where soffice is located 3. Execute soffice and follow the instructions 4. Done That seems straightforward to me. But, when I executed soffice, I got an error message that SO was already installed. Anyway, I installed it in my home directory. Maybe I'll try the /net option at some later date if someone knows what happened.
