They are not listed in the 'change' dialogue, there is a topic called
extensions (de: Erweiterungen) which got an X by default.
Set on true the installer 'copies new files' but the number of
extensions doesn't change and the next time you call setup it is set on
X again. What is it about?

And - how would anyone suggest to remove e.g. languagetool?

Interesting..  I could remove the french dict via Windows...
