------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Nov 6 08:38:35 -0800 2005 ------- I seem to have found: 1) Installing on cleaned system work OK, even for nonstandard partitioning on MSWin2k. 2) OOo uninstallers seem not to uninstall some parts in registry that i would think should be uninstalled, plus the startup link. 3) Installing on non OOo-cleaned system seem to have the issues bencoman reported; if I remember what i have done correclty i had the same problem, but I am out of spare time to mess up the system that much again now... ------------------------- Details: --------------------- Like bencoman i use several partitions. System reside on L:\ , programs on F:\ user files, temporary files, backups etc on other partitions... (That made reinstall much easier - Win2k too often made spaghetti of my system before SP3) OS: Win2k-SP4, originally english, but some patches are swedish. the system have never seen any MSoffice part, but Staroffice 6 and lot of OOo versions from pre OOo1 to now OOo2RC3. I decided to steal time to test this issue, only finding out *no* user have correct linking of MSO files anymore!?! (.ppt not known to system, .xls erroneously pointing to an uninstalled now nonexistant location of OOo, .doc to wordpad) That is weird as i for obvious reason always (unless i forgot this time) select OOo to open MSO formats. Maybe i forgot. Maybe it was caused by me uninstalling OOo1.4 - I do not remember wether I uninstalled it before or after OOo2RC, and maybe it was OOo1.4 that opened MSO formats, but then I also have forgotten to check thoose boxed for all OOo2 betas, and that is not very plausible - i am almost certsin i have read MSO formats on OOo2 beta. And i did uninstall OOo2 beta before installing RC) The only office application on the system now is OOo2RC3 swedish. So i run the OOo2 installer selecting repair: no change. Run it again (under adminiistrator privilegies of course) selecting change (or what was the word), and checked the MSO formats, and then MSO formats works correct for admin, but not for any other user, not even new ones, standard or restricted. Frankly I do not know how it is supposed to work: maybe ol users are meant not to be affected, but I think new users shuld get the MSO files link like last time an administrator have set it? No? Getting annoyed I: 1) uninstalled OOo2 1b)rebooted 2) deleted any Openoffice folder and file I could find left in program folder, and user settings 3) in registry agressively deleted any thing i could think of: containing OOo, openo, soffice, stardiv, application/vnd.sun. 3b) rebooted I also realised that the uninstaller forgot to remove the startup link to the quickstarter. (maybe because it is generated by the program, not installer?) At least for the other administrator priviligied user. Seem like a bug. The uninstallers also seem to have left keys from all Openoffice versions in at least two places, one is HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.htm\OpenWithList\ , the other i forgot. Seem like another bug. 4) Installed OOo2svRC3, to F:\OOo2\, selecting all MSO formats. Ran DictOOo from menu to get swedish dictionary. 5) Everything OK from other users, both MSO links and dictionary 6) Also all OK for new users created. (One last note that might be related: i have earlier experienced problems between antivirus software and programs, including installers, therefore I nowadays shut of antivirus during install/uninstall after having it checked the install archive.) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
