I had assumed, wrongly in part, that as libreoffice.org recognised my OS and environment and offered me the appropriate help-pack that it would take this into account when making the installation. But it fails to set the Tools > Options > Language Settings > Languages > User interface to the value required. The Locale setting was correct [UK] as was [mostly] the default document language. Mark was correct, in fact. It was sufficient to change the User interface to UK to agree with the help pack and all worked ok. I made a series of installs and removals (deleting the User AppData each time) to confirm this. I notice that the Office Suite contains English, French and Spanish spell checking extensions as default. LO may have supposed my requirement for English and French from my OS and environment but I don't know where it got the idea to provide Spanish checker extensions from. On one of my trial installations, it somehow got my default document language as Spanish-Venezuela and every time I started a new doc, the Default paragraph language was Spanish-Venezuelan.

Not a big issue for me, I've been married to an American for many years, so I can accommodate their "odd" terminology & spelling ;) Brexit!!! Who in their right mind could approve of it. This nonsense has created many problems for me personally, so I sure as don't approve. Peter: I was using Win 7_x64 Ult. and Philip gave the information in the subject line of his original post. I switched to a fully updated Win 10_x64 box and got the same failure as previously reported. Mark: You have almost nailed the solution. It's not the interface language that has to be set, it is setting the global Locale to English (UK) that allows the en_GB Help to work as expected. Thank you.

It works for me on up to date Windows 10. You haven't specified your environment: that might be a good place to start in isolating your problem.

The SHA256 checked download of LibreOffice_6.0.0_Win_x64_helppack_en-GB.msi installs without any problem, but calling help (F1 or menu) returns the "Not Installed" message, although Windows installed programs shows the en_GB Help Pack as being installed. The problem does not appear when the en_US Help Pack is installed. Dave -- Please address any reply to the mailing list only.

[libreoffice-users] Installation of LO 6.0.0.3 (x64) on Win10Pro
I'm mostly using LO on linux but I have kept a version [5.4. ish] of LO on a Windows box for occasional testing of documents. Having read a recent post which spoke enthusiastically about some LO 6 features, I thought I would give it go. I downloaded and installed both these two files from libreoffice.org's download page : LibreOffice_6.0.0_Win_x64.msi LibreOffice_6.0.0_Win_x64_helppack_en-GB.msi LibreOffice Writer, Calc and Impress applications appear to work correctly but trying to get the LO Help (F1) to work brings up an error message - "The LibreOffice built-in help is not installed on your computer" I downloaded the help pack a second time and ran the installer. It recognised the first installation and offered the repair option, which I accepted. But F1 help still does not work. When looking in C:\Program Files\LibreOffice, the help directory appears to be stuffed with lots of files. Any ideas how to get the applications to recognise the presence of the help files?
