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 <[email protected]> wrote: From: NoOp <[email protected]> Subject: [libreoffice-users] Re: Can't install LibreOffice To: [email protected] 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: ... >> I've have multiple versions of OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice installed >> together on two WinXP Pro SP3's - both with Avast!

It was manderson: "Grasping at straws. I use Avira Free at home and Avast Free at work. Frank, what do you use?" That is why I mentioned that I have Avast AV installed and working on both of those machines (they are running in VMWare VM's). -- 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
