           Summary: Check for Updates Summary is Misleading

4.1.1 Update Available dialog after Help | Check for Updates

Issue 119323 is somewhat related to this issue.

(This may apply to 4.1.2, but it won't appear until there is a later
distribution.)

There are a number of problems with this report concerning its usability, at
least on Windows.

The "Note: Before downloading ... " about privileges should have a link to a
web page that explains what this is about for casual users.  There is a
question about how does one check that, too.

The Description line "The automatic download of the update is currently not
available." is not useful.  Has there ever been such a provision for Apache
OpenOffice?  This line should simply go.  Mentioning a non-existent feature is
not giving the user anything that is actionable for them.  

(Does the Tools | Options > OpenOffice > Online Update checkbox for "Download
updates automatically" actually function?  [needs separate issue])

The Install button is presumably always greyed out.  The button should go.

After "Click 'Download ..." to download [Apache] OpenOffice 4.1.2 manually from
the web site." there might need to be a link for more information about how to
do that and how to manually install the software.

The embedded Help for the "Check for Updates" dialog and the linked help from
that to "Starting online updates" need work (in addition to there being a
Java-required pitfall trap).

This might need a meta-report of tasks.
