Hi all I just updated my LibreOffice 3.6.5.2 install to 4.0.1.2 under Windows for the second time. The first time I used the suggested install path (%ProgramFiles%\LibreOffice 3.6\ and %ProgramFiles%\LibreOffice 4.0\)
I noticed that all the extensions installed as shared (i.e. for All Users) were "left behind" in the %ProgramFiles%\LibreOffice 3.6 folder. So I had to manually delete the folder (because there is no way to uninstall the leftovers otherwise) and had to reinstall again under LO 4.0 Because I was testing for items not imported in the user Profile (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57061) I decided to give it another go and start from zero. So I installed LO 3.6.5.2 in folder %ProgramFiles%\LibreOffice\ added all the extensions, changed all settings to my preferences and then updated to 4.0 In addition to finding that profile migration (albeit not perfect) is much better now, all my extensions were correctly working. So my question is: is there any reason that LibreOffice under Windows does not install to \LibreOffice\? Under Windows a single version is associated with the registry keys and with the odf files, so the installer removes the previous version before installing a new one. I can see no advantage in installing to a version named folder under Windows... If there is no particular reason, then the future LibreOffice 4.0.2 (a month from now) could be a changing point and install to \LibreOffice\ and be the last version where these problems occur... Then when Version 4.1 is out (somewhere in July) this problem would already be solved (hopefully forever :) ). Just another 2 cents ;) Pedro -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Install-path-for-LibreOffice-under-Windows-tp4041530.html Sent from the Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
