I just remembered something with the last "clean install" for XP and
LO. This was for 3.4.1[or 3.4.2?] and XP.
I had to install LO twice in a row, WITH NO uninstall in between. I
do not know why that happened, but it happened to me twice. BUT,
the last time I installed 3.4.4, or was it 3.4.5, on XP/pro I did
not have any issues. There was just something in the XP system[s] I
was dealing with that had issues and not all of what was to be
installed was installed properly. The second install, which was a
"repair" finished the install properly. I do not know if it was a
problem for XP or for LO or a combination of both, but the second
install [without an uninstall] fixed the problem and it worked great
from there on and the installing for the next version[s] worked
fine.
I really prefer people try the most stable version of LO, which
currently is 3.4.6, before they go to the most cutting edge version,
which currently is 3.5.2.
OK, why did LO's web site pick v3.5.2 on
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/ then?
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/?type=win-x86&lang=en-US says v3.5.2
is recommened. I thought this was the stable latest version! Ugh.
That is a question many of us wonder.
It is not ready for business, but if a business user sees this, he/she
might download it and try it instead of looking closer for the other
possible downloads and such.
Many of us do not like the new download system that "decides for you"
which version is displayed for you to download, and how much work it is
to download any other version.
But I am not on that list of people who decide such things.
