Re: [libreoffice-users] Installation failure

Hi :)
Revouninstaller usually does a good job of finding all the stray
bits&bobs Windows scatters around it's system.  It gives you a choice
as to whether you want to remove those odd bits of strangeness. I
haven't used it many times so i can't reliably recommend it but it's
been brilliant the few times i have used it and a few other people oin
this mailing list spoke of it quite highly too.

Unfortunately it is not free, but luckily does have a 30day free trial;
http://www.revouninstaller.com/
I try to avoid using it on a machine untill it really needs it because
i am never sure if i will ever be able to use it a 2nd time.  However
it sounds like you might have reached that point already.

So it might be worth trying to do a "parallel install" first just to
see if that can be done.  This is probably a lot easier to try than it
sounds but i haven't tried it myself yet.
