I used Revo Uninstaller to remove my 3.2 (or was it 3.3.2?) on

Add/Remove
window), I saw that I had told it to uninstall the main program and
that the
Help module (or whatever it was called) had not started. On a whim,
I started
another instance of RU and told it to uninstall the help section. I
chose the
slowest, most thorough number 4 setting for both uninstalls. Long
story short
-- it then completely uninstalled both 'halves' in about a minute
and I'm ready
to DL the 3.3.3 final and install it.
Don't know if this'll help anyone else, but it [apparently] needs to
remove the
help files first. Hopefully the new install will go smoothly. I
have never
experienced a problem installing either OOo or my first shot at LibO.

Thanks
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?
<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.
