Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice 3.3.3 is ready for download

Hi :)
The "Revo Uninstaller" is a 3rd party app.  It has nothing to do with Microsoft, 
TDF, Oracle nor Apache.  I don't know if it's OpenSource or what or who does own 
it or why they make it.  If MS ere capable of making something this good then i 
suspect they would be making a lot of fuss about it.  I haven't used it so i 
don't know if it's as good as people say.    


The official Microsoft nearest equivalent is their "Add/Remove Programs" (which 
doesn't add programs btw (a tangent)) and also doesn't seem to un-install 
programs particularly well either imo.  There are lots of 3rd party apps that 
claim to be able to clean up the registry but they usually turn out to be 
malware.  Unlike those Revo looks like an excellent product and apparently does 
more than just deal with registry clutter.  


Regards form
Tom :)

Thanks for the info though.  If I have any problems with friends' computer with 
Win-7 and LO installs, I will remember your "trick".

I do not use Win-7, so this may be a stupid question.  So is "Revo Uninstaller" 
the replacement for add/remove programs in the XP and Vista Control Panel?  Or 
is it some other uninstall program that can be used?

Since I never had any real install issues with OOo or LO, except one OOo version 
where the JRE bombed out every time, so I never had to use an uninstall program 
to remove OOo or LO on a Windows computer.  Actually I had to do that with 
"beta" and "RC#" version, but that does not count.

The error dialogs came up with 3.3.3 on Vista, but they were talking about .NET 
issues and by saying "OK" or "YES", the install went though fine.

Now on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, I sometimes have to do a "purge" for versions, but that 
is issues on my system, not LibreOffice issues.
