Hi there everyone at the Open Office Team/crew if you can pass this around it would be most appreceated to those whom receive it.
I am Robbie Kleij also known with my internet users name as mdbobbo almost everywhere. A little introduction to Robbie Kleij I have a web domain name www.treezone.co.nz where I assist computer newbies get ahead by overcomming the "need to know base" and I generally broker free2use&free2keep software . I am presently researching and developing a eco-viable and eco-friendly electro-magnetic transportation system for global use including urban transportation and intercity express system at speeds of a potentially 600 plus kph. Completely fueled by solar and wind energy and any other eco-friendly power collection methods that would comply with the The Kyoto Protocol. The uninstallation issue For myself this is probably an error I personally created and I wish to warn others of this anomaly within the Vista 64 bit OS. As I am a software broker I trial programs to the N'th degree and that's also includes trialing them for computer dumbies such that the software should under most standard "computer dumbies" circumstances, nothing should go wrong. Well in this case it has and majorly so. I download the program "Wise Registry Cleaner 3" and "Wise Disk Cleaner 3" from http://www.wisecleaner.com/ both of which I'm considering good programs as their functionality does what it claims. With running these two programs I have found another flaw with the Windows Operating system it's self especially concerning UNINSTALLATIONS of legacy programs from the windows 64bit OS and how these files are stored on the computer. Uninstallation (filename).msi files are stored in the following folder (previouly know as directory) this is the case for Open Office 2.3 C:\Users\Robert Kleij\Desktop\OpenOffice.org 2.3 Installation Files\ this is the case for google earth C:\Users\ROBERT~1\AppData\Local\Temp\{A225C97A-B135-442C-8E13-B52BE2B32D09}\ this is the case for Opera C:\Users\ROBERT~1\AppData\Local\Temp\_isFC4A\ And here's the folder for Logitech gaming software 5.01 C:\Users\ROBERT~1\AppData\Local\Temp\pftF3D3.tmp\ The list goes on I have even found that automatically updated programs have the same destroyed uninstallation files such as the following... which is completely itemised between "{ }" "curley brackets - ommiting the speech marks complete with More information and Help and Support file links that are not capable of solving this type of error "this report is continued at section marked "Cont-2" { Update for Microsoft Silverlight (KB957938) Download size: 4.6 MB Update type: Important This major update to Silverlight includes dramatically improved performance, security, and functionality for rich Web applications and media delivery on the Web.

More information: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=122661 Help and Support: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=105787 } Cont-2 at least no one from any microsoft windows support team has ever been in touch with me or guessed at any type of solution to date or started any debate re these error issues, I have taken their lack of responce as they have lost the ability to care due to the companys large size, but I digress. As you can see this reported error stems from the windows "desktop" in the case of the OpenOffice version 2.3 and for most other case the reported error stems from the folder "C:\Users\ROBERT~1\AppData\Local\Temp\" and it is this second folder that I am assuming that the Error's have come from originally on Cleaning the Registory with "Wise Registry Cleaner 3" I considered that anything held within a TEMPORARY folder was definatly just that .. it was temporary and therefore of no considered value Now or in the Future of the Computer OS's life. Here is the Error's and Microsoft "Windows Vista (TM) Home Premium, 64-bit"operating system's clear fallibility. Reducing or reduction of my Complaint/issue to the absurd and the sublime from: reductio ad absurdum (reduction to the absurd) a disproof by showing that the consequences of the proposition are absurd; or a proof of a proposition by showing that its negation leads to a contradiction. When I learned DOS 6.22 (for example) anything that was sectioned to a temp, tmp or any other so named directory and now a days referred to as folder then the contents of that directory or folder was exactly that, temporary and as such being said to be Lacking continuity or regularity and generally unnessesary to the clean workings of the operating system. Even so stated by Microsoft as safe to be removed and deleted as remember from some 25 years learning Disk Operating systems. This may to the IT message scanners eye's amount to little more than a stupid error on the part of a systems administrator Although I see the potential within this to amount to a failure, to design Operating Sytems folder naming convention. the OS designers have hereby skipped by folder naming convention's to be a potential hazard that could at some stage cause life threating erorrs in the future and that is why I am pointing this out now before the error becomes a danger to life. As there are many "computer dumbies" out there in skilled employment of such orgainizations as human transportation or critical to life computational services that this small error of overlooking standard folder naming conventions if left unresolved could become catastrophic at worst and infected by a simple virus at least. The potential rests in computers globally becoming jammed up with legacy software installation that can not be uninstalled to such an extent as to make those computers inoperable due to system data space clogging. The second potential rests in the computers having missing critical updates and allowing potentially infections to roam within these systems and in due course harm and infect other computers. Thirdly a virus could be made to take advantage of being able to destroy and making these tempoary folder's content dissapear so as to cause this type of error to occur and potentially exploit this vunerability of blocking new updates from occuring on the computers the virus has sucssesfully infected with this vunerability. I would be please of a FIX for my own operating system and this email has be reproduced and sent to various companies including and not nessesarlly exclusively to: [email protected] openoffice team [email protected] Quick heal anti virus software ( the anti virus software company I use) Here follows the operating system I am operating, taken from the standard Nvidia systems info report: NVIDIA System Information report created on: 02/09/2009 02:47:28 System name: TREEZONE [Display] Processor: AMD Sempron(tm) Processor LE-1150 (2011 MHz) Operating System: Windows Vista (TM) Home Premium, 64-bit (Service Pack 1) DirectX version: 10.0 GPU processor: GeForce 8600 GT Driver version: 181.22 Stream processors: 32 Core clock: 540 MHz Shader clock: 1188 MHz Memory clock: 300 MHz (600 MHz data rate) Memory interface: 128-bit Total available graphics memory: 1279 MB Dedicated video memory: 512 MB System video memory: 0 MB Shared system memory: 767 MB Video BIOS version: 60.84.54.00.00 IRQ: 17 Bus: PCI Express x8
