Description komnik 2009-03-23 01:39:46 UTC 
OOO310m5 installed on Win Vista Enterprise SP1. Everything was working fine for 
about a week. The problem arrived when:
1. I clicked the button for automatic update.
2. OOO310m7 was downloaded, and unpacked at my desktop.
3. When the install dialog appeared a I got this message dialog:
"Please exit OOo-dev 3.1 and the OOo-dev 3.1 Quickstarter before you continue. 
If you are using a multiuser system, also make sure that no other user has OOO-
dev 3.1 open"
4. I closed the Quickstarter at the task bar.
5. The install app crashed.
6. I launched once more the installation from the desktop files, this is m7. 
The same message appeared and no changes to the installation were made.
7. I launched several times at ControlPanel/ProgramsAndFeatures the 
installation file first with option Uninstall, then with option Repair. I get 
the same message as above.
8. I deleted the directory C:/Program Files/OOo-dev and everything relevant I 
found in my AppData/Local or AppData/Roaming.
8. I even launched again the old "OOo-Dev_OOO310_m5_Win32Intel_install_en-
US.exe". I am still getting the same as above message: "exit OOo and ... 
Quickstarter".
So the situation is that I cannot finish uninstall of m5 neither can I install 
m5 or m7.

@ is: I can't uninstall the OOo-dev_m5. I always get this message. Even after
reboot.

is - > dv: this seems to be the problem, that you are already investigating.
Comment 4 Olaf Felka 2009-03-23 13:22:38 UTC 
@ komnik: To uninstall310_m5 you should remove the registry key
'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OpenOffice.org' first.
Comment 5 dirk.voelzke 2009-03-24 09:20:02 UTC 
Accepted.
Looks like the installer does't like a missing program folder or an extra
program_1 folder. For installation on Vista we have to rename the program folder
when performing a major upgrade (see issue
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=94560 ). When the major upgrade
fails, the renaming will not be undone and the next installation stumbles over
the wrong names.
