Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 59668
OOo 2.0.1 installation still says version 2.0 everywhere
Last modified: 2005-12-22 11:15:59 UTC
I've installed OOo 2.0.1 on Windows XP SP2 from the file OOo_2.0.1_Win32Intel_install.exe downloaded from here. After installation the installation wizard says "Welcome to the Installation Wizard for OpenOffice.org 2.0 The Installation Wizard will install OpenOffice.org 2.0 on your computer." This is somewhat discouraging because I'm not sure if I'm installing the right version? Should the version number everywhere be changed to 2.0.1 since RCs? I think most OSS change the minor version number everywhere everytime they release the new minor versions. Even in the OOo software itself, I still see 2.0, even in about box. It's confusing and make it impossible to check which version I'm using.

Similar issue is 58850 *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 58850 ***
This should be also fixed within issue 58850
I disagree that this is a duplicate of issue 58850. This bug is about the installer. That bug is about the about box in OOo programs. They are different programs. I guess that the same patch will fix both bugs but you will have to perform separate QA anyway. I'd say issue 58850 block this issue. I also disgree about the target milestone of issue 58850. I think this bug is very serious. It'll surprise most if not all users installing this version or upgrade from 2.0. They'll unsure whether they pick the right installer or whether there are any problem somehow with the installer. If the fix/QA is trivial, please make it in 2.0.2.
