Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Can't install LibreOffice
Hi :) I am not sure what antivirus Frank uses but i do remember him mentioning that he had solved the problem on his machine. I'm not sure how he solved it. He doesn't have an on-all-the-time-broadband connection and doesn't have much time to stop and chat when he is connected but he did say a big thanks to everyone that had posted helpful answers. I'm not sure if his message reached the list or if i was meant to forwards it to the list. Anyway, a big thanks to all for solving it :) Regards from Tom :) --- On Tue, 13/3/12, NoOp gl...@sbcglobal.net wrote: From: NoOp gl...@sbcglobal.net Subject: [libreoffice-users] Re: Can't install LibreOffice To: users@global.libreoffice.org Date: Tuesday, 13 March, 2012, 21:15 On 03/13/2012 01:28 PM, Dan Lewis wrote: On Tue, 2012-03-13 at 12:50 -0700, NoOp wrote: ...

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Can't install LibreOffice
3.5.0 is the cutting edge version of LO. I would try 3.4.5, since that is the most stable and is the business/enterprise ready version. I had little issues installing 3.4.4 and 3.4.5 on XP, Vista, or Win 7 systems. I run 3.4.5 on Ubuntu as my default system. So it might be best to go with 3.4.5 instead of 3.5.0 for the time being.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Can't install LibreOffice
Hi :) If this problem occurs then it's usually easy to fix by un-installing OpenOffice or previous versions of LibreOffice. There are some other Office Suites that are also based on the OpenOffice code but they are much rarer, for example IBM's Lotus Symphony. There is a guide to have multiple versions of the code-base running at the same time on the same machine. This guide specifically talks about previous versions of LibreOffice but can be adapted for other Office Suites such as OpenOffice http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel Judy seems to be having a unique problem so it might be worth her writing a bug-report about it. Either of these guides might help her do that http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/bug/ She has apparently already tried using 3rd party tools such as http://www.revouninstaller.com/ top make sure there are no previous versions of the code-base on her machine. She has also tried previous releases of LibreOffice such as the much more stable 3.4.5 instead of the 3.5.0 which people sometimes have weird problems with. The 3.5.0 is the first in it's branch and the 3.5.1 is the equivalent of the release with the first Service pack so it should be a lot better. Franks has not made any posts since his initial question so he has either fixed it or given up or just ignoring the lists responses for some reason. So, you are unlikely to get a response from him.

Then click the More button and the top option is Upload file which works very much the same as uploading a file to an email except that the upload is shown as a link in the message. Keeping it with the thread and on official sites beats 3rd party hosting sites when people are looking through these archives in the future. The 3rd party sites tend to remove files after some time or get moved.
