This bug needs to be REOPENED because it is still happening and is bound to
affect a lot of users.

I tried to upgrade from v3.4.3 to v3.6.0.4 on Windows Vista and hit the same
bug. The installer complained that I needed to shut down LibreOffice and the
Quickstarter then terminated with the message "The Wizard was interrupted
before LibreOffice could be completly installed. Your system has not been
modified ...". Neither of the programs complained about was in fact running. 

Apparently the reason is that the installer has insufficient privilege to
remove the earlier version of LibreOffice. But the error message is completely
erroneous, giving misleading information on what is wrong. So a perfectly
standard upgrade fails and the user has no way to resolve it.  

To make a acceptable fix, could the developers please try one of the following
solutions.

(A) Find a way to elevate the privilege so the uninstaller works properly.

(B) Make the installer display a meaningful error message, such as "This
installer cannot uninstall the earlier version of LibreOffice that is present
on your system. Please uninstall this manually using the Control Panel, then
run the installer again."

Thanks, tenbob
