### Description

This document provides steps required to install Libre Office 3.3 in multiple computers in your network using the Software Deployment feature.

### Steps

To install Libre Office 3.3 in multiple computers in your network, follow the steps given below:

1. Download the Libre Office zipped file from  
   [http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/3.3.1/win/x86/LibO_3.3.1_Win_x86_install_multi.exe](http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/3.3.1/win/x86/LibO_3.3.1_Win_x86_install_multi.exe)

2. Save it locally, in your computer.

3. Extract the contents of `LibO_3.3.1_Win_x86_install_multi.exe`.

4. Download the script [libreoffice.txt](https://www.manageengine.com/products/desktop-central/libreoffice.txt).

5. Rename it to `libreoffice.vbs`.

   **Note**: The file name should be the same as it was when you downloaded it. Change only the extension from `txt` to `vbs`.

6. Add the package. Follow the steps given below:

   a. Select the **Software Deployment** tab.  
   b. Click **Add Package**.  
   c. Set the package type to **MSI**.  
   d. Specify the name of the application as LibreOffice.  
   e. Set the path type to **Network Path**.

   f. In the **MSI File Name with Network path** field, enter the path to the MSI file—`libreoffice33.msi`, which is available in the folder in which you extracted the contents. For example:  
      *\\DC-WINDOWS7\Softwares\Libre\Extracted\libreoffice33.msi*  
   g. In the **Advanced Options** section, check the **Run the Script before Installing Software** checkbox.  
   h. In the **Script/Software name** field, enter:  

      ```
      %windir%\system32\cscript.exe "\\DC-WINDOWS7\Softwares\Libre\libreOffice.vbs"
      ```

      **Note**: The working directory should be the immediate folder of the MSI file. For example, `"\\DC-WINDOWS7\Softwares\Libre\Extracted"`. If you use the Browse button to add the path to the folder, ensure that you add `%windir%\system32\cscript.exe` before the path.
