Vendors Name via UNO API / Basic Macros

[Niklas Johansson]

Just to point you to some other options. The basic library Tools that 
comes with LibreOffice contains a few interesting macros related to 
this. You need to load the library first then you can use GetProductName.

     BasicLibraries.LoadLibrary("Tools")
     msgbox GetProductName

If you need more detailed information you can look in the registry 
(xcu-files) using the helper-function GetRegistryKeyContent.
     BasicLibraries.LoadLibrary("Tools")
     oKey = GetRegistryKeyContent("/org.openoffice.Setup/Product")
     msgbox oKey.ooName
     msgbox oKey.ooSetupVersionAboutBox

The GetRegistryKeyContent basically does what Milkos did for you. Use 
xray to inspect oKey for more possibilities.
These functions is available in AOO as well.

Regards,
Niklas Johansson
