------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun May 1 16:15:08 -0700 2005 ------- I'd like to weight in on this one as well. There are a number of ways that paths to OOo binaries can get into the registry. The installer is just one of them. Users can right-click on a file, and say "Open With ..." and choose the path to an OOo binary. There are most likely others. The problem is that with the path changing with each version, a lot of stale references to uninstalled versions of OOo are left around the place. Clicking on a file will then result in a dialog saying something along the lines that the destination file doesn't exist. When I do an OOo upgrade, after I uninstall OOo, I open regedit, and manually search for all soffice, swriter, and scalc references and delete them. This is the only way to get a fully functioning system. So ... not only should the installer have the option of removing registry entries that a previous installer may have set, but also of removing *ALL* registry settings that have anything to do with OOo - whether the installer put them there or not. Without this, users must be adept at registry hacking to make OOo work properly, especially when clicking on documents from Windows Explorer. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
