AOO 4.1.1.1 GA install experience
mwizard:
I downloaded the updated AOO 4.1.1.1 and proceeded to do the install.
I uninstalled 4.1.1 first, & rebooted.
I then installed 4.1.1.1. I found that Warpin would select my prior directory for install, but not allow me to change it. I don't get it. If I had truely uninstalled the older release, why would Warpin force me to use the old directory. I decided it wasn't worth the effort to sort out. But if you know the answer, please share in case someone else cares more than I do.
After the install, I rebooted again.
Clicking the program icon gave me the hatch and then disappeared without a trace of the program running.
I moved to run swriter.exe from the command line and found that libc 066c or some such was not available. A review of the install readme showed that this was one of the prerequisites that I had already installed for the first 4.1.1 release. I had no reason to believe it was not installed.
I moved to run yum, and opted to use yum update yum command. Yum and three other packages were updated, one of which was the libc066 something or other. So it seems I needed an update.
Now starting the writer netted a quick display of the welcome screen before it disappeared. A dialog indicated something was wrong and gave me several options to look into.
Running swriter.exe from the command line didn't show me anything either. So I went to the popuplog.os2 and found the following...

On a whim, I thought if the libc 066 needed to be updated, then perhaps other libraries did too. So I performed a yum update command and it updated quite a few packages for me.
I then rebooted.
Now SWRITER properly starts for me. I'll be using the program for the next few days and see if any other issues arise.
Good luck. :)

I think that's what it is supposed to do. If, after uninstalling, you choose "remove database entry" in warpin before you start the new install you can then choose a different directory.

Yes, the latest version needs updates of the required runtimes. You should have simply run "yum update"
Good luck. :)

Out of curiosity where does one get this AOO4.1.1.1 GA? I tried the dropbox page but it requires a password and for some reason putting bww as the password does not work.
