Bug #: 46409
Summary: : Installer fails due to lack of admin permission
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: LibO 3.5.0 RC1
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Status Whiteboard: BSA
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Libreoffice
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Problem description:
Installer gives error of stating that the user needs to close LibreOffice .4
before continuing, even if LibreOffice is not running.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Have a previous version of LibreOffice installed on Windows 7 x64 (probably
happens on x86 as well)
2. Attempt to run .msi installer.
Current behavior:
Installer exits with incorrect message.
Expected behavior:
Actually install the application. Ask for permission to run if it is not
running as admin.
NOTE:
It appears as if the inability to uninstall the previous version is caught as
the previous version is active, rather than the program not having permission.
As a msi file, you cannot right click and run as admin. Application can be
installed if you run cmd.exe as admin and then run the installer from the
command line. The installer should be able to ask for permission to run as
admin and thus avoid this problem.
