Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 20170
Installation options
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:35:33 UTC
Trying to install 1.1 RC5 on top of RC4 gives only the Repair option. What is needed are all-embracing options which cover all builds. After the detection process, if other versions are detected, the options should be something like the following. The explanations are important: otherwise users don't know what is going on. *Repair. This option recopies system files into the existing installation directory to make sure that the files there are correct. *Upgrade. This option installs into the existing installation directory, but keeps the old system settings. *Replacement. This option puts a complete new installation into the existing installation directory and removes all existing system settings. *New. This option makes a new installation into a new directory.
please have a look. I don't know if we can handle such a feature after changing to native installer for OOo 2.0.
