Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice 3.5 Installation problem
Hi :)
Revo Uninstaller has a free trial period and they think that you will find it
so invaluable that you will purchase it after 30days or whatever. Personally i
intend to try it once, completely declutter the Xp and then uninstall it. I
have ended up buying a few things that way. Perfectdisk was a classic
example.
Have you been able to check the 3.5.x's md5sum or Sha-whatever to check that
you have a proper error-free download?|Did you download from the official TDF
page or some other website? (many other sites also offer the official
download but it's not always so easy to check the 3rd party has got it right
on their site)
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/
If you try to re-run the 3.5.x installer it 'should' offer a choice of 3
options which includes Repair as the top option. I found that useful for
adding in components that i hadn't thought i would need.
I must admit that i tend to use GnuLinux myself and only use Windows very
occasionally now and mostly that is just to fix whatever problem one of my
colleagues has run into.

Tom :)

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!

Try using RevoUninstaller as suggested by Tom. I believe there is a free

Windows sometimes leaves stuff behind when using the MS supplied

Curious, what is your OS?
Try downloading LO again, I am assuming you have a corrupted install

This can be checked by comparing your hash with the one listed.

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

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:

Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice 3.5 Installation problem
Hi :) Dohhh, sorry. My turn for missing an earlier post! I hadn't realised you had already tried re-downloading. Sorry chap! It is probably best for you to avoid the 3.6.0 at this point. Beta-testing pre-release versions is better after you have some idea of how to get back to safety. The 3.5.4 is probably the best version to install right now although a lot of us are sticking with the 3.4.6 on machines we can't fuss about with all the time. The 3rd point is roughly equivalent to a service pack so 3.4.6 is roughly like 3.4 Sp6. However the .4 is usually where a branch suddenly becomes very much more stable so i am moving towards getting that on all machines except the one i can really play around with where i will hopefully get time to test-drive the 3.6.0 before it gets released properly. It's always good to try the latest beta somewhere where you don't need to rely on it always working in order to get real work done. We don't normally have all this trouble trying to install LibreOffice on Win7 which is why we are a bit stuck. Usually it just goes through really smoothly. On Xp i would usually approach pretty much any problem by defragging, disk-cleanup, running MS updates and rebooting but none of that should be causing problems for LibreOffice. I think just pick a version of LO, it doesn't really mater which one. Then uninstall all other versions and try installing just the 1 again. By the way do you have OpenOffice, NeoOffice, Lotus Symphony or any othe Office Suite installed on the machine? LO installs easily alongside MS Office but sometimes does have troubles alongside one of the OOo forks.

[Solved] Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice 3.5 Installation problem
Hi :) WoooHooo!! :)) Congrats on fixing it. Hopefully you can continue collaborating because LO and AOO (or the older OOo) are kinda just different versions of the same program. LO has a lot more features and is a lot more streamlined and advanced but still fairly similar. You can have both AOO and LO if you kinda subvert this guide a little http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel Congrats and regards from Tom :) --- On Thu, 21/6/12, Brian Charlton briangcharl...@gmail.com wrote: From: Brian Charlton briangcharl...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice 3.5 Installation problem To: users@global.libreoffice.org Date: Thursday, 21 June, 2012, 0:11 Hello, Thanks to all who tried to help, my problem has finally been solved!

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,
As I said in my first email, Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium.
I missed it, my apols.
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.
Try using RevoUninstaller as suggested by Tom. I believe there is a free
version to remove the leftovers from the Windows uninstall. I understand
Windows sometimes leaves stuff behind when using the MS supplied
uninstaller. (I use Linux so I normally do not deal with Windows
specific issues).

Curious, what is your OS?
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.

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 and Win 7 UAC
Hi :) Ahhh, that is the cunning thing about renaming instead of just deleting your old profile! Either way forces LO to reset back to factory defaults by generating a whole new copy of the default settings. Renaming has the advantage that you can copy back some of the settings from your old folder into the new one until it breaks again. Then you can just delete out the bit that caused the breakage and perhaps gradually pin-point exactly what caused the problem. Most times i don't have time for that as it's faster and easier just to tweak the 1 or 2 things i happen to remember at the time. I do need to start getting more organised about it tho.

One thing you need to do is reboot between uninstall and the next install. Also, I would make sure the program data folder for LO is removed after the uninstall. There may be things that are left in that type of folder that could be the issue. Also, make sure your downloaded version was completely downloaded. Sometimes people have their downloads unfinished from one of our mirrors [which the download system choose for you]. For now, I would stick with 3.4.5. If you can. 3.5.0 is the cutting edge version or some people call it bleeding edge when these type of errors happen. To be honest, unless you need any feature that is new with 3.5.0, I would stick with 3.4.5 for a bit longer. It is always nice to see what the newest version is all about, so to speak, but if you want to use LO without any issues, stick with the previous version when the newest one ends with .0 or .1. These are not for the people who need it for day-to-day, business, or enterprise, applications. I have been using LO since the first month it was out. I am sticking with 3.4.5 till 3.5.x gets to .1 or .2, at least, since I use it for home-office work. -- 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
I just installed 3.4.5 on an older DELL with XP Home SP3 and I had troubles and had to do a repair reinstall to get it running properly. With each system, there are differences. Some will install and run with no issues, while others will have issues to overcome. Of course, it did not help that the guy had not used his anti-virus since summer of 2009 [according to the add/remove programs system to get rid of the old anti-virus package and replace it with a new/better one].

Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice 3.5
Thanks for your answer Jay, Before LO 3.5 I was using LO 3.4.5 with no problems and with no crashes before. Besides, before sending the question, I repaired the installation to test if the first set-up had any problems with the same result and so, I reinstall LO 3.4.5 and it works perfectly. Do you think that the complete removal of LO 3.4.5 with Revo Uninstaller could resolve the problem? Thanks in advance and kind regards.

Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice 3.5: bug hunting session and new features
I'm not nearly knowledgeable enough to officially participate in the bug-hunting session. I'm just a user, not a programmer. I haven't even yet figured out LO's bugzilla or feature requests system, so forgive me if I'm putting this stuff in the wrong place. For those who will be participating, I offer the following comments on behavior I've noticed in LO 3.4.4. on Windows 7. I assume most of these issues are well known by the developers. I know I'm reporting these things in the wrong place, but I can't find a place on LO's website for feature requests. 1. The Graphite port of Linux Libertine G has several issues: a. My attempt to use the algn option in a character style for Footnote Characters always results in a crash. b. The itlc and lith and hang options don't seem to work on my system. c. Anytime I try to generate a table of contents in a document using Linux Libertine G, LO crashes. 2. For some odd reason, I've noticed that the Formatting Aids often change by themselves, unchecking every option, so that, when I click View, Nonprinting Characters, nothing shows up. I have had to go into Options, Writer, Formatting Aids, several times to recheck my options. I have NOT noticed that behavior in the Portable version of LO, only in the standard version. In terms of feature requests, I would love to see the following at some time: 1. A tabbed document interface, like Atlantis (rssol.com), or Lotus Symphony (but without all the other senseless changes IBM made to the menu structure). 2. The full path of the current document in the Title Bar. 3. Full support for the expert glyphs of OpenType fonts, such as old style numbering and true small caps. The Graphite/Linux Libertine option is great (even if incomplete and buggy) but it's limited to the one typeface. 4. An easy way to assign hot-keys to special characters (such as Alt-. to insert an ellipses (...)). I have to believe it can be done, but so far I haven't been able to figure it out. (By comparison, Atlantis includes a hot-key option in its Insert/Symbol dialog) 5. A better justification system -- more like that used in LaTeX, especially with the Microtype package. 6. Better hyphenation. I often find word being hyphenated at the wrong location (ex. arbit-rary, instead of arbi-trary). I don't want to sound ungrateful. LibreOffice is an absolutely wonderful package. I've been using Star/Open/LibreOffice since SO 5.2. It has developed into a great program, and I still appreciate the many little things it does better than other programs (such as independent control of orphans and widows) Virgil -Original Message- From: Cor Nouws Sent: Friday, December 23, 2011 5:57 AM To: users@global.libreoffice.org ; Discuss TDF Subject: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice 3.5: bug hunting session and new features Hi, As far as I remember, there wasn't yet send a special note to this lists about the coming bug-hunting event.

Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice 3.5: bug hunting session and newfeatures
Hi :) There si a guide for installing different versions in parallel http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel Hopefully it works a bit better. For a single machine it is probably a lot better to just uninstall and reinstall unless you need to make sure you have a working version that you are familiar with in order to meet unexpected deadlines. Uninstalling and reinstalling is easy and doesn't take long but it's not always time that one has in a working office.

I know I'm reporting these things in the wrong place, but I can't find a place on LO's website for feature requests. 1. The Graphite port of Linux Libertine G has several issues: a. My attempt to use the algn option in a character style for Footnote Characters always results in a crash. b. The itlc and lith and hang options don't seem to work on my system. c. Anytime I try to generate a table of contents in a document using Linux Libertine G, LO crashes. 2. For some odd reason, I've noticed that the Formatting Aids often change by themselves, unchecking every option, so that, when I click View, Nonprinting Characters, nothing shows up. I have had to go into Options, Writer, Formatting Aids, several times to recheck my options. I have NOT noticed that behavior in the Portable version of LO, only in the standard version. In terms of feature requests, I would love to see the following at some time: 1. A tabbed document interface, like Atlantis (rssol.com), or Lotus Symphony (but without all the other senseless changes IBM made to the menu structure). 2. The full path of the current document in the Title Bar. 3. Full support for the expert glyphs of OpenType fonts, such as old style numbering and true small caps. The Graphite/Linux Libertine option is great (even if incomplete and buggy) but it's limited to the one typeface. 4. An easy way to assign hot-keys to special characters (such as Alt-. to insert an ellipses (...)). I have to believe it can be done, but so far I haven't been able to figure it out. (By comparison, Atlantis includes a hot-key option in its Insert/Symbol dialog) 5. A better justification system -- more like that used in LaTeX, especially with the Microtype package. 6. Better hyphenation. I often find word being hyphenated at the wrong location (ex. arbit-rary, instead of arbi-trary). I don't want to sound ungrateful. LibreOffice is an absolutely wonderful package. I've been using Star/Open/LibreOffice since SO 5.2. It has developed into a great program, and I still appreciate the many little things it does better than other programs (such as independent control of orphans and widows) Virgil -Original Message- From: Cor Nouws Sent: Friday, December 23, 2011 5:57 AM To: users@global.libreoffice.org ; Discuss TDF Subject: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice 3.5: bug hunting session and new features Hi, As far as I remember, there wasn't yet send a special note to this lists about the coming bug-hunting event.
