Bug #: 50427
Summary: LibO installer destroys Windows XP basic file
structure
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: LibO 3.5.3 release
Platform: x86 (IA32)
OS/Version: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: blocker
Priority: medium
Component: Installation
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
- Redirect all users desktop folder to other location via NTFS junction, e.g.
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop --> D:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Desktop (I use LSE [1] for that)
- Put some content in this folder, to see it on your desktop, regardless by
which Windows account you are logged in.
- Install LibO
--> after install, only LibO's shortcut is visible on the desktop, but all
other content is gone. Looking behind, I can see, that the 'Desktop' named
junction to 'Desktop' folder on Volume D: was deleted, and replaced by a new
empty normal folder 'Desktop'.
As this folder is of basic nature for Windows XP to run correctly, LibO
installer is wrong to manipulate it.
