Oh hai...
Where I can download LibreOffice Windows Installer in OpenOffice style i.e. small .msi and large .cab file in sfx archive instead one very big msi? New distribution style is completely crap and useful only in domains deploying. I don't want to have BIG... VEEERY BIIIG .msi cache file in C:/WINDOWS/Installer/ . That a bad idea move to one big .msi.
There is no "BIG... VEEERY BIIIG .msi cache file in C:/WINDOWS/Installer/".
You can't equate the downloaded installer "LibreOffice_*.msi" with the created LibreOffice installation database "*.msi" in the directory "C:\WINDOWS\Installer\".
Example LibreOffice 4.0.0
Installer LibreOffice_4.0.0.3_Win_x86.msi:
183 MB
LibreOffice installation database *.msi ("C:\WINDOWS\Installer\"):
12.4 MB
