Re: [libreoffice-users] Can't install LibreOffice

Hi :)
Have you tried Revo-uninstaller?
http://www.revouninstaller.com/
A few people in here months ago tried it and said it was really good but i have never tried it 
myself.  It sounds as tho you have some remnants of OpenOffice, NeoOffice, Go-oo, LibreOffice, 
perhaps Lotus Symphony lurking somewhere on your system.  

Before trying LibreOffice what Office Suites did you have or try?
Regards from
Tom :)
