Hi Frank :-)

Few day's ago I installed Dev300_m28 while I already had m23.
The installation procedure showed the 'should all previous versions of
OOo be removed'
It was (and is) unclear if that also would affect my 2.x installation as
well. (So I answered No, of course).
Is this a known issue, or improved in the mean time?
It's a known issue, in that there was a big discussion about it (in some
non-public place, I fear). But there's no issue, AFAIK. In my
understanding, only old "released" versions (2.x) will be released,
perhaps only 2.4. However, because of the high number of uncertainties
associated with this box (which is even higher for StarOffice
installations, since StarOffice a) can upgrade user data from
OpenOffice.org, so perhaps also remove the installations? and b)
StarOffice knows product patches), I also would never check it, without
a good explanation, reachable from within the installer, which tells me
what will happen.
Ugh :-( IMO the only reasonable offering would be:
"
The installer detected the following installations of OOo on your
system, pls tick the ones you will like to be removed now:
[ ] OOo 2.4.1
[ ] OOo Dev300
This will remove the installations, but the directories with your
user-data will stay on the disk
"
or something similar.
Regards,
Cor
