I'm using version 2.0, and just downloaded version 2.1.
The instructions say, "It is recommended that the previous version be
uninstalled before updating to a new version. This can be
accomplished, in Windows, by using the Setup program from the Start
Menu and selecting Deinstallation."
There is no Setup program in my Start Menu... the OpenOffice 2.0
folder has no such program, either.
Add/Remove Programs section of the Control Panel lists OpenOffice 2.0
but does not have an option to remove the program.
How do I deinstall it? If I just delete the 2.0 folder, what about
all the Registry entries?

If Add/remove Programs doesn't have an option to remove 2.0 then there is
almost certainly something wrong with your Windows installation. Please
check carefully.
In any case, uninstalling 2.0 is *not* necessary before installing 2.1. Just
make sure you exit all OpenOffice components especially including the
Quickstarter. If this is running there will be an icon for it in the System
Tray. The icon is grey and shows a picture of flying birds. *Right* click on
this icon and select Exit from the pop-up menu. Having quit all OO-related
programs just run the 2.1 .exe file you downloaded. Your existing
preferences etc. will be carried forward into the new instllation and
existing documents will not be affected at all.
