[cw-discuss] Upgrade caches bad HOME dir

[Brian C]

I have run into a similar issue.  You either need to review the
documentation on the CX website on how to un-install CX before re-installing
it, or you can manually rename or remove the folders listed below.  Doing
this will remove your existing CX bottles so you will have to re-install
your windows apps.  Hope that helps.

/home/paul/cxoffice
/home/paul/.cxoffice
/home/paul/.loki
/home/paul/.netscape
