Configuring a virtual account for OpenOffice is
not very straight forward.
You can do the followings to fix the permission
issue
1. Launch component services (dcomcnfg.exe)
2. Go to Computers->My Computer->DCOM
Config.
3. Scroll down and look for an application called
"OpenOffice.org Service Manager".
4. Right click on the application, select
Properties and go to the Security tab.
5. Set the Launch and Activation Permissions to
Customize and then click on Edit.
6. Add your ASP.NET user (e.g IIS APPPOOL\DefaultAppPool or in fact the entire IIS_IUSRS group) and give
it full permissions.
Note: This step is critical as most of the times app pool was not given permissions and it came up with issues for which i had no answers.
7. Repeat same for Access Permissions
OpenOffice keeps its configuration files in
AppData\Roaming folder of Interactive user.e.g. in our case it is
C:\Users\developer\AppData\Roaming\OpenOffice.org but there is no such folder
for IIS Virtual Account. hence you need to fix OpenOffice configuration path
To fix the configuration path -
1. Open OpenOffice installation location e.g.
C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenOffice.org 3\program ( you may have different
location for your setup)
2. Open bootstrap.ini file and find
UserInstallation key and update the path with correct value of your interactive
user e.g. in our case it is - file:///C:/Users/developer/AppData/Roaming/OpenOffice.org/3
