Be honest, I do not know, EXCEPT that since Oxygen is based on OOo
then the computer thinks that you are either trying to install an older
version of the software or the same version.
My opinion is that the computer cannot figure what you need to keep
and what you need to install, if the files are too similar.
The true reason(s) involve how the Registry sees the incoming software
and finds that there is the same software installed, but there is enough
differences to confuse the install process for the Registry system.
If the Registry cannot tell if the new software is the same or different,
or there is some Registry option that is not turned on/off, then you
cannot "reinstall" even software that is exactually the same. If it
was a different value, then you could do a "repair" install over the
current version.
The only way to make sure ALL of the Registry options and values
are "wiped" clean and then "remade" with the newest values. There
are whole volumes of books about how the Registry works. Some
counterdict the others.
confused?
Why could Oxygen just make an add-on to OOo instead of
creating a whole "new" version. Just add the add-on, and
you got it.
Well they did not, so you have to get to do it the hard way.
