Priority: P3
Bug ID: 120979
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: Install/bundle msvcr100.dll to improve Java
compatibility
Severity: normal
Issue Type: ENHANCEMENT
Classification: Application
OS: All
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: All
Status: CONFIRMED
Version: AOO 3.4.1
Component: ui
Product: installation
After discussions on ooo-dev and on the forums, it's now clear that many issues
about "corrupt Java/JRE" are related to a missing msvcr100.dll library.
This DLL is included in Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)
and actually it's Java that requires it, not OpenOffice itself.
But including it would solve Java-related issues for many users.

(redistributable package)

patch by Ariel with an alternative approach, but this would simply hide the
non-working JRE from the list)
