Another Quickstarter adjustment
A common problem with installation is that it objects to having the Quickstarter running. Inexperienced users often are baffled by a message to close Openoffice before installation can proceed; they are not aware that the Quickstarter may be running in the System tray. Would it be possible to modify the Installation procedure so that it automatically kills any running Quickstarter?

Is this a new feature in AOO 3.4.x? It was not my experience with earlier OOo versions. If the Quickstarter was present in the System Tray under Windows, without OpenOffice running as an application, then one got the message.

It would be helpful to users (and a least effort temporary fix) to say in the error message that the Quickstarter might be running. As a long term aim the Quickstarter should be autmatically killed by the Installation.

When upgrade on Windows, the installer will kill the quickstarter
automatically without warning.
But if upgrade with openoffice running, with the window opening, there will
be a message asks user to close openoffice or quickstarter. Info in this
message can be adjust and remove the quickstarter string?
But for multi-user system, if quickstarter is running by another user, this
warning massage is still needed.
