[Solved] Update or new installation?

Post by Woodcrafts_UK »

This may be a silly question but I am new to Apache.

I recently started using Apache Open Office and installed 4.1.3 on my new PC. I have just received the prompt to say an update is available but when I click the button, the download is for a complete installation of 4.1.5. It was even asking me to enter all my details again. Most software I have used installs updates over the existing installation, not a completely new installation. Am I doing something wrong?

Hope someone can help.
Thanks,
Paul

OpenOffice doesn't do incremental updates. You just download the whole thing and install over the previous version. With a decent internet connection it doens't take very long.

Note that your personal settings for the application remain untouched, your AOO profile is not removed during the installation.

Please add '[Solved]' at beginning of your first post title (edit button) if your issue has been fixed.
