Exactly that's my point also. The OOo Add-On installer (that comprises not only the GUI, but also the cmd line tool) OTOH *is* definitely multi-user-proof, it *can* remove everything from any installation without residues and I'm sure it can also handle any "etc" you left out here. :-) I don't know if it is system-update proof, because I don't know what that means. If you could describe it maybe we can find out if this applies to the OOo Add-On installer. BTW: do you know the OOo Add-On installer at all and the way it works? > It only shines on systems where software installation is a generalised > mess (ie windows) No, the Firefox extension installer also doesn't shine on Windows also.
