Not necessarily as LO is installing a version with security issues & IMO that needs to be resolved. The standard 'user' won't know to uninstall the bundled version as plino did. This is similar to when OOo installed insecure versions of java et al. The user would then have parallel versions of jave installed. I'd recommend a followup to the dev list. plino, when you do that you might also add links to the security notices for the earlier version of VC++ 2008. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
