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

No, no. It's an excellent free replacement and far superior to MS' Add/Remove, 
IMO. You can download it at the link below and install just like any other app. 
After clicking the link, be careful to not choose the 30-day free trial of the 
"Pro" version -- you don't really need it..well, unless you're needing to put 
your wallet on a diet. :-)  Instead, scroll to the bottom of the page and click 
on the FREE download button. Works great on Win-XP and Vista. If your OS is 
otherwise, check requirements at the link before downloading. HTH!

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.
