Bug ID: 105422
Summary: Dual install of LO 32-bit and 64-bit to same system.
Yet only one uninstall option in "Programs and
Features"
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.2.4.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Installation
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
OS = Windows 7 Pro. x64 SP1
LO 64-bit = v5.2.4.2 (en-GB) and also the associated Help-pack for en-GB. (This
combination was installed first.)
LO 32-bit = v5.2.4.2 (en-GB) and also the associated Help-pack for en-GB. (This
combination was installed second.)
I did a dual install of LO 64-bit and LO 32-bit to my Windows 7 system. I was
just wanting to tinker around with the two versions and see which I preferred.
Eventually I decided to go with LO 32-bit. I went to Windows "Programs and
Features" and looked to uninstall the 64-version. When I look there all that
was shown was one uninstall option for LO (when I actually expected two
uninstall options to be available, one for 32-bit and one for 64-bit). So, in
effect, doing two installs of LO (one 32-bit and one 64-bit) only results in
one uninstall option.
I thought this a bug with the installers (or it if it isn't it should be
flagged as a possible bug).
Really the installers for LO 32-bit and 64-bit should check to see if there is
already a different version (32-bit or 64-bit) already installed and, if so,
then a separate entry for the new version being installed should made in
"Programs and Features". (I hope I have explained all this clearly.)
I would also note that the same situation exists for the Help-pack installers
(32-bit and 64-bit) - there is only one uninstall option. So I would say that
those installers are also bugged.
Hope this helps.
