--- Comment #9 from sstory <[email protected]> ---
I just installed LibreOffice 5.1.2 on Windows 7 64bit. I had a desktop shortcut
to Calc, the properties being: "C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice
4\program\scalc.exe"

The result confirms that these shortcuts get broken. I think that if this user
is making shortcuts to individual applications like Calc and Writer like I do,
that this is a problem. I the past it was installed to something like
LibreOffice 3.x.y which meant this was a problem with every release. Sometime
during 4.x, it was changed to be LibreOffice 4 which meant that all upgrades
within a major version should not break these shortcuts. However, major version
upgrades like 4 to 5, will obviously break them because this:


"C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice 4\program\scalc.exe"

becomes:

C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice 5\program\scalc.exe"

With the 4 changing to a 5. I believe the problem would be forever eliminated
by just installing to LibreOffice without any version numbers each time--unless
there is a really good reason why this isn't possible or desirable.

Now if the user is referring to the startup icon installed by LibreOffice, that
is a totally different story.
