Hello, in comment to the text of Marko from March 2nd:
Yes, I think it's a good way that the standard behaviour of OOo's setup (at
least under Windows) updates a previous installation after automatically
deinstalling it. That's a lot more comfortable than older versions of Mozilla &
Co., where it was recommended to manually uninstall them before updating - not
to mention a manual backup of plugins... So, fine!
Additionally, I would greatly like to have a simple (?) thing: The information
that the old version *is* updated during the installation process!
I just have installed 2.0.2, replacing 2.0.1. There was some short message about
searching related applications ("verwandte Anwendungen" in German), but nothing
else meaning anything to me.
During the Complete-Setup-option, I didn't get any hint that the old version
would be replaced. Neither did I see the installation directory. If I wouldn't
have been told before, I only could have guessed what would happen during
installation of 2.0.2.
I completely agree that many user don't want to bother with details and should
be spared from the complicated details. But I would feel a little umcomfortable
*not* knowing what the setup will do. Okay, there's the documentation, that's a
good thing. Nevertheless: How many "typical" users will read them *before*
double-clicking on the .exe-file?
So, concluding: What I really would like to have is to be shown a small
information text saying "The previous version of OpenOffice.org will be
updated."
You don't need to say "replaced" - that indeed may cause concerns of losing
something... ;-)
What do you think?
Bye
Dirk
