"Status: CLOSED NOT_AN_ISSUE " doesn't look very helpful. I was able to replicate (multiple times) on a Win 7 machine with AOO 4.0.1 installed. After I completely uninstalled AOO 4.0.1 (including using CCleaner to clean the registry, temp files, etc., I was able to install 4.1.1 without issue. If I get time I'll reinstall 4.0.1 and see if I can replicate again. Also, I have Win 8.1 on a VMware VM & if I get time I'll see if I can replicate there also. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
