Hi all I installed a registry monitoring program. Namely http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/Regmon.html
So I found out msiexec read some values at HKLM\Software\Classes\Installer\Products\C00C409A0B03920409847 7195E8902A8 I deleted that entry. I have oo2 installed and working. thanks to Gregory Foster for his help On 8 Nov 2005 at 18:22, Gregory Forster wrote: > Then what I would do, is: > Control Panel-Add/Romove Programs > 1. delete ALL OpenOffice (double check to make sure > it's gone.) > 2. delete ALL OpenOffice and double check C:\Documents > and Settings\yourname\Application Data\ > 3.
