I used Revo Uninstaller to remove my 3.2 (or was it 3.3.2?) on Win-7. It hung

window), I saw that I had told it to uninstall the main program and that the
Help module (or whatever it was called) had not started. On a whim, I started
another instance of RU and told it to uninstall the help section. I chose the
slowest, most thorough number 4 setting for both uninstalls. Long story short
-- it then completely uninstalled both 'halves' in about a minute and I'm ready
to DL the 3.3.3 final and install it.
Don't know if this'll help anyone else, but it [apparently] needs to remove the
help files first. Hopefully the new install will go smoothly. I have never
experienced a problem installing either OOo or my first shot at LibO.

Thanks
Thanks for the info though. If I have any problems with friends'
computer with Win-7 and LO installs, I will remember your "trick".
I do not use Win-7, so this may be a stupid question. So is "Revo
Uninstaller" the replacement for add/remove programs in the XP and Vista
Control Panel? Or is it some other uninstall program that can be used?
Since I never had any real install issues with OOo or LO, except one OOo
version where the JRE bombed out every time, so I never had to use an
uninstall program to remove OOo or LO on a Windows computer. Actually I
had to do that with "beta" and "RC#" version, but that does not count.
The error dialogs came up with 3.3.3 on Vista, but they were talking
about .NET issues and by saying "OK" or "YES", the install went though fine.
Now on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, I sometimes have to do a "purge" for versions,
but that is issues on my system, not LibreOffice issues.
