→Uninstall Strings For All Languages: how to find out Uninstall string and EXACT version number
=== Uninstall Strings For All Languages ===
You can find the uninstall string by running "file installation.msi" on linux. It will show something like:<br>
[root@machine LibreOffice6]# file LibreOffice_6.3.5.2_Win_x64.msi
LibreOffice_6.3.5.2_Win_x64.msi: CDF V2 Document, Little Endian, Os: Windows, Version 6.2, Code page: 0, Title: Installation database, Subject:
LibreOffice 6.3, Author: The Document Foundation, Keywords: Install,MSI, Comments: LibreOffice, Name of Creating Application: Windows Installer, Security: 0, Template: x64;1033, Last Saved By: x64;1077, Revision Number: '''{9FEFBA80-8687-4AC1-83F7-3CD3E9BAF275}'''6.3.5.2; {9FEFBA80-8687-4AC1-83F7-3CD3E9BAF275}'''6.3.5.2''';{4B17E523-5D91-4E69-BD96-7FD81CFA81BB}, Number of Pages: 200, Number of
Characters: 32
Note the '''BOLD''' part: there are exact version ('''6.3.5.2''') and the uninstall string ( '''{9FEFBA80-8687-4AC1-83F7-3CD3E9BAF275}''' ) on that line.<br>
So just download latest version (stable?) from LO site, run a '''file''' command on it and get 2 critical info to update your package!<br>

On a system with LibreOffice already installed, you can get the uninstall string for that particular version, the same one for all languages, on 32-bit systems from:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
64 bit versions of LibreOffice were available from v5.0.0.1 since June 2015, judging from the Libreoffice old archive https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ URL.
Note that uninstall Strings for 64 bit versions are different from 32 bit versions.
