I dualbooted the WinXP(Pro) machine and installed the new 3.0.1 (without

complete. That seems pretty bizar to me as previous versions have never
done this.
Given that I seldom boot into WinXP (I use linux), can anyone else
verify the same?
BTW: Following the reboot I do get a new OOo 3.0 icon on the desktop &
doubleclicking does get me to 3.0.1 so it's working - I'm just wondering
about the reboot/restart requirement.
I forget when that started happening, but it certainly did for all 3
OOo3.0.0 installs I've done on several different WinXP machines. I
assumed there was some change in the way OOo is installed, with info
being put into the Registry that wasn't done in earlier versions.

Thanks for the confirmation. I guess it's following the 'Windows way' :-)

I just installed 3.0.1 on my Vista machine. Did not require a reboot.
I have not found where it left the unpacked folder. It should have been
placed on the desktop, but the only folder is for the m9 build. I then
installed the Dev300 m40, after first uninstalling the m35. It kept
telling me I had a newer version already installed. After the uninstall
of the older dev version, the newer one installed without incident. It
too did not require a reboot when finished. Maybe an XP quirk. My XP
system is still dead, so I can't try it there.
