Its in the Symphony Program folder on your hard drive where the program is located at.

It took over all of my OpenDoc file associations, without warning, and installed itself into a handful of other file associations. IT HAS NO UNINSTALLER, SO THESE CHANGES CANNOT BE EASILY REVERSED! Basically, it made a mess out of my registry. Its taking me about an hour to fix it. WARNING: INSTALL IBM Lotus Symphony (Beta) AT YOUR OWN PERIL!

Start-up times are abmysal in this beta drop, not sure whether IBM is able to improve that. ---rony - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

go into the _uninst folder and launch uninstaller.bin On Sep 28, 2007, at 9:49 AM, Allen Pulsifer wrote: Its in the Symphony Program folder on your hard drive where the program is located at.

RE: [dev] WARNING: Do Not Install IBM Lotus Symphony (Beta)
Even OOo won't restore the file associations to the older program... the easier way to fix it is to repair the OOo setup or reinstall. Yes, I tried that. OOo very politely respected the Symphony file associations and did no repair. The only way I got it to work was to delete all traces of Symphony from the file associations. If the file association was Symphony-only or Symphony and OpenOffice, then I simply deleted it and fixed it later with a reinstall of OOo. For all other associations, I only deleted the Symphony entry. Hint for anyone suffering from the same problem: I eventually figured they could be easily located by searching for the partial string standalone_ (without quotes). Better solution: don't install Symphony until IBM gets its act together. Its particularly unforgivable IMO for beta software not to uninstall without a trace because that's what its for: to install, try out, and then delete. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
