Really fascinating work! I see you could not wait for me to reply and closed the bug report. Much appreciated! Anyways, I would like to point out that any modern program claiming to be consumer software of any kind should keep up to the standards of such software. In that line of thought, using a cache directory for keeping essential files can only be seen as ill advised, misguided and so on. So if LibreOffice really needs a file from a common cache folder full of, and I stress, temporary files to perform essential operations, then this is definitely a bug. A huge one I might add. Now if you must know, I do use CCleaner often, but only to clean my registry, not temporary files, and I am always careful of what it selects before I delete it. But for the sake of argument, let us say CCleaner is the culprit here. How was then no other software affected? Better yet, I ran in the same error when I tried to upgrade LibreOffice on my laptop, where I do not have CCleaner set up. Why is that? Frankly, I do not know. Maybe you are right that LibreOffice depends on a file in that directory and that directory is for installer cache and maybe Windows in its infinite wisdom has a scheduled "Disk Cleaner" set up that deletes the file, but that does not mean in any way that this is not a bug. It only means Windows or whoever else is cleaning junk files, which is a good thing. LibreOffice should have been designed with that liability in mind. A lot of people are having the same problem and it does not seem to affect other software. And no software should critically depend on its temporary files left in a folder that everybody knows they would be deleted at some point. I can see you like LibreOffice very much and I can tell you I do too. And I am trying to make it better instead of pretending that everything is OK and some other software is to blame. In any case, what happens here I think is for the actual developers to decide, not random people that can only guess what is actually going on, like you and me. That is why I am reopening the bug. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
