When I installed 2.0.2rc1 it uninstalled my 2.0.1 as a part of the

I had used "CUSTOM" install because I wanted to install along side
2.0.1, which is my production software.
BAD IDEA,    It still uninstalled 2.0.1 and doggedly installed itself
in the default directory no matter 
what I told it to do.

You will not get as many people to test a release candidate unless the
install behaves itself.

Please confirm that you selected the Change button and changed the
target. I installed 2.02.rc2 beside 2.0.2rc1 using the Custom install
under XP Pro. If you are talking about the menus, then yes these do
appear to be updated to the new version but this is easily fixed
manually.
After further investigation, part of what I reported earlier was inaccurate.  My appologies for getting this wrong earlier.

I had selected "CUSTOM" and modified the suggested install directory to <previous tree minus previous OOo2.0.1 install directory>\OOo202.  It did install there after all but it totally uninstalled my production OOo  prior to installing the release candidate.
Still nasty, but not as bad as I had previously reported.

I am going to uninstall rc1, reinstall 2.0.1 using the default directory, and reinstall rcq.  I will report if the rc1 still uninstalls 2.0.1 before installing itself. 

By the way I am running WinXP Pro with 512MB ram and AMD XP1900 cpu.
