In response to your first paragraph below: Remember the spaghetti & meatball
commercial, Tom? "Try it, you'll like it." Actually, NTITOI, that may have been
a commercial for Rolaids or some other OTC antacid. The first sentence in your
second paragraph will tell you why you should try it.
BTW, I do agree with you about most "registry cleaners." Some are fair, but many
more are junk.

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 :)

I used Revo Uninstaller to remove my 3.2 (or was it 3.3.2?) on Win-7. It

with the progress bar at about 80% of completion for over two hours, never
moving further. In the selection window (similar to Control Panel 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?
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.
