------- Additional comments from ring...@openoffice.org Thu Nov 25 07:40:47 +0000 2010 ------- When OO.o 3.3rc6 is launched on a Windows XP machine that was previously running 3.2.1 without issues, it fails during launch with the error: --------------------------- OpenOffice.org 3.3 - Fatal Error --------------------------- The application cannot be started. [context="user"] caught unexpected exception! --------------------------- OK --------------------------- this error is displayed after the Oracle/OOO splash appears, around when you'd expect the first progress bar step. In case it matters, this machine has a roaming profile with %APPDATA% redirected to a Windows 2008 server, with the path: \\servername\sharename\appdata\username\AppData\Roaming Redirection is configured using Group Policy features as standard on Windows systems. This is a common configuration on business machines. I have not yet tested to see if I can reproduce the failure without folder redirection, as I don't have an un-redirected Windows XP machine to test with at present. I'll attach a Process Monitor log showing the event trace from oo.o startup. For those not familiar with it, Process Monitor from Microsoft Sysinternals: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/default.aspx is kind of like strace for Windows with built-in filtering and analysis. The log may be informative. It ends when the fatal error dialog is displayed. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
