I have an Windows XP SP2 computer and went into "Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs" to remove unwanted ones. I note that I have many versions of OOo installed, from OOo 1.0 through OOo 1.1.3 and decided to uninstall the older versions which were each taking up 60 - 140 MB disk space.

When I went to remove version 1.0, I received a warning that I was about to uninstall OOo 1.1.3, so I backed out of there. I usually do a fresh install into a new folder, but last time I decided to do the upgrade to keep my Australian dictionary this is probably the reason for the version number / file name confusion.

So I went on to remove 1.1, 1.1.0, 1.1.1, and received the same warning with each of them (that I was about to remove version 1.1.3)

OOo version 1.1.2 was the only one that I could remove as Add?Remove Programs accurately identified this one as .1.2 and not 1.1.3

How can I get rid of the unwanted older versions without accidentally removing version 1.1.3? Why does this happen? (for self-educational purposes). What is the recommended way to install OOo - Upgrade or Fresh Install?

Many thanks,  James Elliott
