https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=167337 --- Comment #5 from DIV --- My suggestions would be as follows. * Check whether (or not) anyone else can run the portable version from the specified path. * Check through LibreOffice's source code for a message box displaying an error message as in attachment 201600 (Comment 1). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=167337 --- Comment #4 from DIV --- Thanks for the suggestion. On the likelihood of "Windows antivirus protection" being the cause --- I have variously used two different third-party commercial AV software products (currently Bitdefender) for ~10 years on this laptop. During that time I have successfully extracted more than 20 different applications to various folders under "C:\Program Files (portable)" and have never had any trouble running any of them. If some form of "antivirus protection" were the cause, then I don't know why it would only affect LibreOffice and nothing else. Note also that there is no notification from the AV software (see also below). Are you able to launch the portable version from that same path??? On the suggested remedy --- I am not really sure how to proceed with "Try to enable in it run the program, adding it to allowed exclusions." To be clear, I am moderately familiar with setting up exclusions in the Bitdefender AV product. However, there is no notification relating to LibreOffice from the AV software: there was no message displayed at the time, nor was any notification logged. It doesn't seem productive to add an exception to an AV feature that was never triggered. Please advise. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
