Yes - that is a huge problem. David is working on fixing install issues
incrementally in:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55290
Are there live build issues causing grief as well ?

True enough; we've been watching this one for a while.

In general, saying "you -have- to do XYZ" is not a winning strategy for
communicating with volunteers :-) No doubt, if we have a fix in the -3-6
branch, then a windows build will eventually arrive here:
http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/Win-x86_9-Voreppe/libreoffice-3-6/current/
And you can do your testing of course. In the meantime, please be
patient. Nobody is obliged to fix your specific bugs ahead of anyone
else's bugs - they do it because they care about the project and a11y.
If you need bugs fixed on your schedule, that's fine - one great way to
do that is to contract development support from eg. Lanedo, or RedHat,
or Canonical or ... - and then you have a neck to choke :-)
Anyhow - it's great to have a11y testing going on - that is much
appreciated.
Thanks !
Michael.
