--- Comment #2 from ady <[email protected]> --- (In reply to V Stuart Foote from comment #1) > @Ady, anything different with your install STR? I don't run by command line. I install each new Dev update version in the same specific directory (so one new Dev installation replaces the older one). I selected this directory the first time, and every Dev msi always selects this same directory by default. Since I have several languages and dictionaries installed with the Dev version, I always select the personalized option when installing (instead of the "typical" radius option). I never select to use QuickLaunch. I also select to add a direct access link to the desktop (so I have one for the Dev version and another for the Stable version). I have a Stable version (soffice.exe located in C:\Program Files\LibreOffice\program, 7.6.5 ATM), a Dev version (in D:\LO\ALPHA\program, note the separate "D:"), and several "Windows portable" versions (installed from paf.exe installers), each installed in separated directories. In order to run each soffice.exe, I have created "direct access" links to each "parallel" installation. The whole set of direct links are all located in one "central" directory, and I double-click on the icon that I want to run according to LO version. Similarly, I have AOO (and some other spreadsheet tool). I am usually "clean" (ordered) regarding which version I am running, and I always wait until one version is completely closed before executing a different version. When I have not waited enough time, I get a message that another version is still closing, so I cannot have more than one soffice.exe version running simultaneously. A few days ago, I received such message a couple of times when trying to launch some portable version(s), and so I found the left-overs in Windows Task Manager. I can replicate the issue, also after rebooting. After killing every LibreOfficeDev (and related Calc process, if there is such) line in Windows' Task Manager, I can replicate the same behavior again. Open LO Dev Start Center and then close it; there is one additional left-over. Each run leaves a new left-over. I can run the Stable version, but any of the "portable" versions (starting with 4.0) is blocked with the aforementioned message, unless I kill the left-overs. By chance I have saved the LO Dev msi installer built on 2024-04-30, so after some few days of this new issue, I reinstalled it over the same "D:\LO\ALPHA\" location. No problem, no repro. I then reinstalled the LO Dev msi installer built on 2024-05-11 (the latest ATM), and I can repro the problem again, just as it has been for a couple/few days now. If it happens to be of any relevance, my Windows OS is not in English, and the msi installer runs in the same language as my OS, but the default language for LO in all my installations is English (USA) (by choice), with several additional UI languages and dictionaries installed too. IDK which other details might be needed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
