Bug #: 47313
Summary: Installation fails with non alpha-numeric characters
in program path
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: LibO 3.5.1 RC2
Platform: x86 (IA32)
OS/Version: Windows (All)
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Installation
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
I tried to install LibreOffice in parallel to older version as a network image
by using the DOS command
msiexec /a LibO_3.5.1rc2_Win_x86_install_multi.msi
into a folder named d:\$temp. Short before the installation finished the
following message appeared:
MS Visula C++ Runtime Library
Program ...\unopkg.bin
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it
in an unusual way.
Starting soffice.exe then also led to an error message. This behavior was
caused by the $-sign in the path name, which is actually a permissible
character for a Windows path. After removing that $ from the path by a rename
operation soffice.exe could be run! I suppose that other non-alpha-numeric
characters cause the same problem. But another user reported "(" or ")" worked
for him in the path name.
When the installation path contains no $-sign the installation finishes
successfully.
A similar problem can be found for LO Portable. This also fails to run when
being installed into a path containing "$".
