Screeshot showing the error message.
I have just installed LO-3.6.1.2 build on Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit and
saw the following scenario:
1. Double clicked the LO-3.6 icon.
2. Waited few second (10 or so) and nothing happened (no splash screen).
3. Double clicked the LO-3.6 icon once again.
Result: The following error message appeared on the screen, see also the
screenshot:
--- cut ---
Unhandled exception:
cannot remove file
file:///C:/Users/pmladek/AppData/Roaming/LibreOffice/3/user/extensions/bundled/registry/com.sun.star.comp.deployment.help.PackageRegistryBackend/luh6gap.tmp/ks/caption/com.sun.wiki-publisher%252Fwiki.xhp:

Few seconds later, the splash screen appeared. It started to register the
extensions and the application started.
So, there were evidently running two instances. One of them failed and the
other succeeded.
Possible explanation:
---------------------
The first instance was removing the huge bundled extensions directory before
showing the splash screen => it looked like the application was not started =>
I started another instance => both instances started to remove the same files
=> one instance was "slower" and failed
Possible solution:
------------------
+ show splash earlier
+ earlier detect that another instance is running
+ ignore this
Note that we install many extensions by default and the cache is huge. So, more
users might be affected.
