Correct, open a command window "Run as administrator" and then enter the
msiexec.exe command as given in comment #4.

Deletion, or renaming, of the old profile removes one variable from working
through the problem. After uninstalling the 4.0.0.2 rc2 and the profile, you
should be starting from a clean system. But sometimes running a conservative
registry clean-up (e.g. CCleaner) will resolve any lingering issues, simpler to
just clean it all off and reboot to start fresh.

If the printer issue resolves by removing the old profile, you could dig deeper
and restore items from the old 4.0.0.2 profile piece by piece.

My opinion is that profile migration, especially for the upgrade process from
3.6.x -> 4.0.0 is experimental at best.  If the profile turns out to have been
the issue for you, obviously that becomes a different bug.

Take your time with the uninstall--cleanup--reinstall of 4.0.0.3 rc3 build. And
be certain to "Run as Administrator" so all Windows registry and LibreOffice
registry elements on initial launch are correctly written.
