Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 105862
Cannot install Office if previous Office folder has been deleted manually

On Vista it's not possible to install a new Office version if the Office folder of a previous installation has been deleted manually. I think this situation can occur and normal users are completely lost. They have to remove registry entries via regedit until they would be able to install a new version.
