Note that the program will be LibreOfficeDev not LibreOffice and your user configuration will show up in %APPDATA%\LibreOfficeDev (i.e. C:\Users\<yourusername>\AppData\Roaming\LibreOfficeDev) but any configuration (Windows registry and per user AppData) from the full install will also be present and can conflict. Uninstalling the release build, then clearing from Windows registry and deleting the %APPDATA%\LibreOffice is needed if you are trying to fully enable a nightly or a pre-release (Alpha/Beta) build for use in the os/DE. Unless you have some specific QA work in mind requiring full os/DE integration, I would not. And instead I install in parallel as detailed in the link provided above. > > I have installed LO in the path- > C:\Program Files\Util\LibreOfficeDev 24 > Generally it is not a good idea to include a <space> in the path to an installed program. Use an underscore, or just drop the space. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
