I ALREADY HAVE A NEWER VERSION INSTALLED!!! LibreOffice IGNORES my NEWER VC++ and STILL installs the OLDER version included. It's a waste of time and resources. I understand that it is the version you are supposed to distribute. BUT it still needs a CHECK because there are NEWER security fixes. If you prefer to ignore this, it's fine with me. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/LibO-3-4-2-RC1-under-Windows-tp3179764p3182406.html Sent from the Discuss mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- 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
