Hi all,
Bug 124599 [2] is verified fixed in AOO 4.1.0 RC2, from current behaviors
and comments provided in this bug, the "expected behaviors" for upgrade on
Windows could be:
Good idea. Good text but maybe a native speaker can tweek the wording.
-Andre
1. If the former version is 3.x, there will be a check box in Installation
Wizard providing the option to keep or remove the former version
- If select "Remove all older product versions", then 3.x will be removed
and 4.x will be installed with 1 startup group, 1 desktop icon and 1 entry
in the Add/Remove Programs list. This artifact is for 4.x
- If de-select "Remove all older product versions", then 4.x will be
installed with keeping 3.x, there will be 2 startup groups, 2 desktop icons
and 2 entries in the Add/Remove Programs list. These artifacts are one
suite for 3.x and the other suite for 4.x
2. If the former version is also 4.x, but older than current installing
one(e.g. install 4.1.0 over 4.0.0), then the older one will be removed and
the newer one will be installed with 1 startup group, 1 desktop icon and 1
entry in the Add/Remove Programs list. This artifact is for the newer one.
I think above behaviors are acceptable, I propose to update the
installation instructions [1] according those. Any comments, or any
objections?

Hi,
The current installation instructions [1] (last updated on 2014-03-26)
does
not differentiate the clean installation and upgrade installation for
Windows, thus it does not state the option to keep or delete the old
version for an upgrade installation.
I propose development update the installation instructions [1] when
submit
the fix to bug 124599 [2], to provide what is expected to see with
details
as below:
1. Upgrade from old version to relative new version (e.g. from 3.3 to
3.4.1, from 3.4.1 to 4.1.0, from 4.0.0 to 4.1.0, etc)
2. Specify the different behavior/experience on all platforms (Windows,
Linux and Mac) - I do not see problems in the current instructions on
Linux
and Mac, but need confirmation
That is essential, because for testers we need this as criteria for
testing, and for end users we need this as instructions for guiding.
You are right. We need to have our installations instructions accurate!
Commmitters can directly edit this page and commit. Others can submit
patches which we can review. We could use help from all folks using our
installation binaries on this.
