Thanks for the information. I could reproduce it by removing msvcr100.dll from C:\WINDOWS\system32. Now, I'm not sure if this is something AOO should fix: AOO is built with VS 2008, so its redistributable package is installed with AOO. It's Oracle Java 7 that is build with VS 2010, Java 7 has msvcr100.dll in the \bin folder, but I guess they should install the redistributable system wide. Found this interesting stuff http://www.duckware.com/tech/java6msvcr71.html For now, the solution is to install http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/B/C/5BC5DBB3-652D-4DCE-B14A-475AB85EEF6E/vcredist_x86.exe Regards -- Ariel Constenla-Haile La Plata, Argentina
