Michael, See if this helps... UAC under Windows 7 can bite you at strange times. So one of the first things I do on a new Windows 7 install is to activate the true Administrator account: launch a command window "Run as Administrator" and enter net user Administrator /Active:yes (note capital A's and single space before slash) then run lusrmgr.msc and set a password for the now active Administrator account. Log off and onto the Administrator account and try your installation there, move you day-to-day account out of the Administrators group keeping just the Administrator for installs and sysadmin.

Done, there was nothing that looked LO related but I told CC to clean up anyway, problem persists. o.O Michael -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] 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 -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] 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
