Subject: [installation-dev] Updating to OOo 2.1 & language packs

Hi *,
with the move to the new numbering schema also the default installation
directory changes from "OpenOffice.org 2.0" to "OpenOffice.org 2.1"
resp. from "openoffice.org2.0" to "openoffice.org2.1".
Assuming that users might have language packs installed in their OOs
2.0.x, the result when updating will be platform dependant:
* on Windows, the installer will detect the existing 2.0.4 and propose
"OpenOffice.org 2.0" as destination directory instead => language packs
still there, but potentially incompatible (might even lead to crashes).
* on Unix, the default directory "openoffice.org2.1" will be used,
resulting in a naked OOo 2.1 with the language packs still present in
"openoffice.org2.0".
Shouldn't we issue a warning on Windows and install to "OpenOffice.org
2.1" by default as on Unix ? Users willing to take the risk might still
choose the "OpenOffice.org 2.0" manually.
