Priority: medium
Bug ID: 80297
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: Other: Partial LibreOffice 3.6.5 installation won't
work after upgrade to 4.2.4.2
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Windows (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Whiteboard: BSA
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.2.4.2 release
Component: Libreoffice
Product: LibreOffice
Problem description:
OS concerned : Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7 SP1 32 bits (at least)
When upgrading from a working partial installation of LibreOffice 3.6.5 (only
Draw and/or Impress) to LibreOffice 4.2.4.2, you obtain a partially installed
4.2.4.2 version (Draw and/or Impress) but not working anymore : nothing happen
when you launch Draw or Impress.
If you take a full 3.6.5 installation and upgrade it the same way, you get a
working 4.2.4.2 installation.
Something seems to go wrong when some components are not available in a 4.2.4.2
installation (and this seems to match the new 4.x MSI installation file's
behavior : install all components, don't let user select what it needs.
Steps to reproduce the bug :
1. Install LibreOffice 3.6.5 only selecting Draw and Impress
2. Launch Draw to verify it running OK
3. Use LibreOffice 4.2.4.2 MSI installation file to upgrade your installation
4. Launch Draw to verify it is not running anymore
Steps to reproduce a working installation :
1. Install LibreOffice 3.6.5 selecting all components
2. Launch Draw to verify it running OK
3. Use LibreOffice 4.2.4.2 MSI installation file to upgrade your installation
4. Launch Draw to verify installation is working
Current behavior:
Upgrade process of 4.2.4.2 upgrades only installed components of old version of
LibreOffice. If only Draw or Impress were installed, they are upgraded but not
working anymore.
Expected behavior:
Upgrade process should upgrade existing components and install any other
components
Important information:
Trying to deploy and upgrade to LibreOffice 4.2.4.2 on 250 computers, I need to
create a Software Installation GPO. This method does not allow you to send
command line arguments like ADDLOCAL=ALL... You are only allowed to put an MSI
and you can add a MST file. I could add the ADDLOCAL parameter inside the
PROPERTY table of the MSI (and that works) but Microsoft warns it should not be
used : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367536%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
Using script is another solution but many sysadmins won't go that way (not
enough time, not enough people, not enough skill, script
modification/validation each time you upgrade, Microsoft Office install is
easier... :-/), and Software Installation GPO + MSI/MST files are made for this
purpose on a MS managed network.
Regards.
Operating System: Windows (other)
Version: 4.2.4.2 release
