Re: [libreoffice-users] Revo Uninstaller (was: LibreOffice 3.3.3 is ready for download)

To the owners and/or moderators: 

Hope it's okay to change the subject line as above. I was rebuked for totally 
"hijacking a thread" early on (perhaps that was on the OOo list, not sure now), 
but on many other lists, leaving the original subject intact as above is 
acceptable. It just seemed like the time may be right to do so here. Will 
apologize again if I'm wrong.


David,

FOA, I'm trimming all below except your query. When I first installed LibO, it 
was under Ubu 10.04 and things were a total mess. I had wanted to use it and 
keep OOo for comparison. HU-U-UGE mistake, at least in  my experience. I wound 
up completely removing both programs (which I knew that Linux/Ubuntu does a far 
better job of than Windoze), then reinstalled the same version of LibO, the same 
one I originally put on Win-7. Not wanting to experience the same problems on 
it, I used RU to make sure it cleaned all registry entries and other "leftovers" 
that Windows' Add/Remove doesn't remove so well. Perhaps unnecessary, but all's 
going well with 3.3.3 final now. And I'll [always] swear by RU. HTH!

<Non W7 issues snipped>

I'll remember the help files issue, and thanks for that.

Question: Why did you choose Revo rather than to use the W7 add/remove 
application in the control panel? I have used W7's add/remove only once, for 
another application (that didn't work as advertised) and that worked fine.

Is there some LO quirk that requires a separate removal program beyond W7's 
native add/remove?

I use W7 64 bit Home Premium with AMD quad core processor, 4 GB RAM, SATA disk.
