Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice 3.5 Installation problem
Hello, As I said in my first email, Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium. I have tried downloading again - and the Beta release of 3.6 and still get the same problem. Note that the message I am getting refers to LO 3.5 Quickstarter, but it is not installed at that stage. After removind LO 3.4, I still got the same message and failure. I am at a loss.

Fabian, Yes, the person will be getting to the questionnaire/form through our website, so a webpage, if it could do all this, is good. However, the questionnaire is rather long; it has about 70-plus questions. A text document may be better to use because the person can save their progress and easily resume anytime. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice 3.5 Installation problem
Hello,
I have done that and there is nothing there.
Note that the pop-up window asks me to 'Close LibreOffice 3.5 and 3.5
Quickstarter' and they are not on my computer, so how can I get past this?
I think there must be an error in the installation system. How can I get
through to the people who put the installer together?
Thanks for trying!

Hello,
I am trying to install LibreOffice 3.5 on my Windows 7 64-bit
system,
but
it fails to complete.
I go through the process and click the Install Button, The UAC then
appears
and I click that. Shortly after I get a separate widow which says:
Please exit LibreOffice 3.5 and the LibreOffice Quickstarter
before you
continue with an OK button
On clicking the OK button, the window disappears and the main
installer
tells me that:
The wizard was interrupted before LibreOffice 3.5 could be
completely
installed with a Finish Button.
I have tried several times. How can I make this a successful
installation?
(I am a current user of LibreOffice 3.4)
Thanks,
Brian Charlton
Did you try what the installer suggested and exit the LibreOffice
Quickstarter (right click on the icon in the taskbar tray) then try
again. Alternatively, open Windows Task Manager and end any
processes
named soffice.

Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice 3.5 Installation problem
Original Message From: Brian Charlton briangcharl...@gmail.com To: users@global.libreoffice.org Date: Tue, 19 Jun 2012 16:36:53 +1000 Hello, I am trying to install LibreOffice 3.5 on my Windows 7 64-bit system, but it fails to complete. I go through the process and click the Install Button, The UAC then appears and I click that. Shortly after I get a separate widow which says: Please exit LibreOffice 3.5 and the LibreOffice Quickstarter before you continue with an OK button On clicking the OK button, the window disappears and the main installer tells me that: The wizard was interrupted before LibreOffice 3.5 could be completely installed with a Finish Button. I have tried several times. How can I make this a successful installation? (I am a current user of LibreOffice 3.4) Thanks, Brian Charlton Did you try what the installer suggested and exit the LibreOffice Quickstarter (right click on the icon in the taskbar tray) then try again. Alternatively, open Windows Task Manager and end any processes named soffice.

Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice 3.5 Installation problem
Hi :) As Dave said there are a few different ways to do this. A couple more ways 1. The best way is to uninstall the 3.4.x 2. Alternatively before trying to install the 3.5.x 'just' open the 3.4.x and go to Tools - Options - Memory and untick the option that is something like Start-up/Load LibreOffice on system start-up/reboot/boot but then to make sure you properly install the 3.5.x alongside the 3.4 to keep both http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel Dave's 1st option is probably the fastest way to deal with it.

In fact it works perfectly and the way it works makes perfect sense. There are only two limitations (at least under Windows...) that make this feature less perfect: 1) The user data that shows (or that you fill) during install is useless and is not used by LibreOffice (it seems to have been removed from the 3.6 installer which is good) 2) When LibreOffice is installed and executed for the very first time the user data should be requested (with a brief explanation of what it is used for) Cheers, Pedro -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/last-edit-position-tp3990856p3991154.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Hi :) In a different document i found that even without any user-data in File - Properties - Description It still opened at the place where the cursor was when i last saved the document (even though i hadn't edited anything there). I did have a tick in File - Properties - General - Apply user data A quick but inconclusive test showed it seemed to recognise my login name as the Author which would make sense. It hadn't occurred to me to look for collaboration tools in Writer. I don't really need it and it would just confuse anyone i work with but it's good to see some quite sophisticated tools are there.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: spell checking
I found this problem a while ago as well but I found it was fixed with a re installation of the dictionary packages so I suppose it might be a good idea to re download them all again On Mon, Jun 18, 2012, at 08:28 PM, NoOp wrote: On 06/16/2012 07:38 AM, Allen Myers wrote: Please, can you correct your spell checking program: UK English does NOT spell defensive and offensive with a c in place of the s.

Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice 3.5 Installation problem
Hello, Thanks for the responses, but I have tried all the options mentioned and still get the same result. I now do not have LibreOffice at all!!! Because 3.4 is no longer available, I tried the Release Candidate, but that failed as well. What am I doing wrong?

Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice 3.5 Installation problem
Hi :) Ages ago on this list someone used to recommend Revo Uninstaller to try to make sure uninstalls had worked properly. I've never tried it http://www.revouninstaller.com/ Quite a few people said that they really liked it but i don't think anyone tried it on 64bit Win7 So, hopefully someone else might have a better idea.

Try downloading LO again, I am assuming you have a corrupted install file. This can be checked by comparing your hash with the one listed.
