Good Evening Mr. Hart,
I take acception to your statement.
If not for Microsoft (MS) /WE/ wouldn't be here.
I started out on an Apple IIe, but it couldn't run AutoCad, next was an
Amiga in the 80s and an infant TurboCad which at the time was Open
source. The Amiga disappeared (a German graphics company bought it out)
and again I was orphaned (couldn't upgrade,too expensive for me). I
switched to Microsoft's PC. and I'll stay with it. Do I have complaints
sure, but I'm comfortable with the system and the hardware. I earn a
living with Microsoft.
I have had no problems with an install of AOO 3.4 over Ooo 3.3. I also
deleted Libre OO I no longer needed it. I installed LO because my
original Ooo 3.3 needed updating and I was confused about which one was
the real Open Office.
I kept wondering until I tripped over a Google search and found both the
correct Open Office and this forum.
Take Care.

To Andrea: If it was simply an upgrade, as all others in that line up
to version 3.3 were upgrades, then you would not have to go in and
completely rearrange what you have on your computer to that install an
ALMOST completely different version of the program which would then
take your past data! Sounds to me like too many people are jumping on
this "Windows 7" mentality and making things as difficult as they can,
yet with that excuse that they been at it for so long that they should
know better than the users .AOO ver.3.4 is as close to a total rewrite
as one can be and yet allow the data to the used in it! I don't have
the time to play with my registry, nor all these other files that
people had to jump Through the hoops to get this "upgrade" to work! If
all these developers had been working on this project for 10 years, as
was said, WHY couldn't they make it a simple install over all of the
versions of OpenOffice that have been around? I have been urged to
switch to Libre Office for the very same reasons I have just stated! I
think that all the effort of 10 years work has simply been A
intellectual playground and the common user has just simply been
forgotten!:-( :-( =-O =-O
Microsoft, in order to maintain their monopoly, developed the parasitic
install process causing your problem. Please don't blame it on people
working for free trying to solve it for you. The reason they are
advising people with problems to delete defective links is because
Microsoft provides users with no tools to determine what is wrong. The
links were most likely broken before the upgrade. Installing a program
in windows is like a fungus growing into a tree.

You didn’t mention Linux-Unix. Besides no one said anything about
eliminating Microsoft. Only that they cause unnecessary problems in order
to keep people from trying to use software other than theirs.
