Re: Installation guide are asked to review and update when fix bug 124599
Hi All, An US editor gives feedback and tweaks wording as below, I am going to update installation instructions [1] with these words: *Upgrading OpenOffice for Windows* If the current version is 3.x, you can remove it before you upgrade to version 4.x, or keep it and install 4.x as an additional version. 1. In the Installation Wizard, do one of the following: - To remove 3.x and install 4.x, select *Remove all older product versions*. The startup group item, desktop icon, and entry in the Add/Remove Programs list will all refer to 4.x. - To have both 3.x and 4.x on your computer, deselect *Remove all older product versions*. Each version will have its own startup group item, desktop icon, and entry in the Add/Remove Programs list. 2. If the current version is 4.x, but is older than the point version that you want to install (for example, you have 4.0.0 but want to install 4.0.1), the older version will be removed and the later one will be installed. The startup group item, desktop icon, and entry in the Add/Remove Programs list will all refer to the later version.

Re: Installation guide are asked to review and update when fix bug 124599
Dear Pedro Per Juergen, "we won't release msp's because of some issues that we have to solve first." So I think, we will not mention MSP in Installation guide although the fix in situation 2) is also included in the MSP. How do you think?

Sounds perfect.

Re: Installation guide are asked to review and update when fix bug 124599
Hi all, Bug 124599 [2] is verified fixed in AOO 4.1.0 RC2, from current behaviors and comments provided in this bug, the "expected behaviors" for upgrade on Windows could be: 1. If the former version is 3.x, there will be a check box in Installation Wizard providing the option to keep or remove the former version - If select "Remove all older product versions", then 3.x will be removed and 4.x will be installed with 1 startup group, 1 desktop icon and 1 entry in the Add/Remove Programs list. This artifact is for 4.x - If de-select "Remove all older product versions", then 4.x will be installed with keeping 3.x, there will be 2 startup groups, 2 desktop icons and 2 entries in the Add/Remove Programs list. These artifacts are one suite for 3.x and the other suite for 4.x 2. If the former version is also 4.x, but older than current installing one(e.g. install 4.1.0 over 4.0.0), then the older one will be removed and the newer one will be installed with 1 startup group, 1 desktop icon and 1 entry in the Add/Remove Programs list. This artifact is for the newer one. I think above behaviors are acceptable, I propose to update the installation instructions [1] according those. Any comments, or any objections?
