Bug #: 42520
Summary: : No uninstaller registration is made upon freshly
installing v3.4.3 final
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: LibO 3.4.3 release
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Status Whiteboard: BSA
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Libreoffice
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Problem description: -
No uninstall entry is found anywhere on the system after doing a clean install
of LibreOffice v3.4.3.
Either in the Programs & Features section of the Control Panel in Vista &
Windows 7 (64 bit) or the Add/Remove Hardware of the older control panel in
Windows XP there are no entries found for LibreOffice.
There is no dedicated uninstaller application found in any of the directories
created by LibreOffice.
Microsoft's "Windows Installer Clean Up Utility", which usually finds theses
things, does not list LibreOffice as installed on a Windows XP, Vista or
Windows 7 (64 bit) system.
There is no safe way for the end user to clear LibreOffice from the system in
preparation for upgrade other than by using a system restore or re-imaging the
system - which is most impractical, especially if one wishes to do this some
time after installing LibreOffice and having to roll back in time to a much
earlier system state.
Please can an uninstaller be made for future version and can someone advise on
the safest way I can test the complete removal of LibreOffice v3.4.3 in
preparation for future upgraded of LibreOffice?
Steps to reproduce:
1. .... Install the latest version of LibreOffice on a clean system with no
previous version of LibreOffice installed
2. .... Search for the uninstall entry in the Control Panel (Programs &
Features or Add/Remove Software)
3. .... Search the LibreOffice directories for an uininstaller or use 3rd party
uninstaller tools like Microsoft Install Clean Up Utility or CCleaner or jv16
Power Tools and find no entries for LibreOffice in any of them.
Current behaviour: Impossible to safely and thoroughly remove LibreOffice from
a Windows system.
Expected behavior: To have a regular uninstall feature in the control panel to
correctly and safely uninstall all aspects of LibreOffice.
Platform (if different from the browser): Windows 7 64 Bit (all versions),
Vista & XP (pro & Home).
