[libreoffice-users] Cannot Install LO 3.6.5
Trying to update to LibreOffice 3.6.5 on my XPpro. After install completes and I try to open it, I get a Fatal Error message that says something about Service Manager is not available - Invalid Registry Exception... and tells me to run the setup again to Repair the installation.I ran the repair, and got the same error. I then removed 3.6.5 and downloaded the .msi package again and installed it again - same error. Then ran the Repair again - same error. Then I came to this site and found a similar issue with an attempt to install a 3.5 version. The suggestion there was to do the same as I did (try a new download, but also suggested to test the .msi with something like 7-Zip to insure it isn't corrupted and that signatures are good. I did that too, and everything tested OK.Any help will be greatly appreciated! -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Cannot-Install-LO-3-6-5-tp4035690.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org 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
Re: [libreoffice-users] Cannot Install LO 3.6.5
Hi :) It's well worth trying the 4.0.0 at this point. It is waaay before i would normally try a new branch but it is well worth it. Especially if you are having trouble with the older branch. The whole point of the older branch is that it's supposed to be less hassle. So, please try the newer one and see if that works better. Sorry, that's not the answer you want and hopefully someone else can give you a better answer fairly soon but if bandwidth is not a problem and you don't have a cap then 4.0.0 is well worth trying.

Just upgrade to the latest and (so far!) greatest :-) Just surf onto the LibO site and it should 'automagically' recognise your machine architecture and OS. Then download the new binaries, and whilst that is happening remove the existing LibO libraries and then reinstall the new downloads. On GNU/ Linux this is so easy one can fall asleep over it; however, it may or may not be more be complicated in Windows land, so YMMV. Just follow any directions that the documentation for your OS suggestions and you cannot go wrong. V. 4.0 is very stable and as always, user-friendly. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org 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

At one time I was not able to install any .msi files and found that my installer was broken. I fixed the problem by updating the installer to v4.5 Windows Installer 4.5 Redistributable http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8483 -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org 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
