All, Anyone else having installation problems with LibO 3.4.3? I've been using OpenOffice for years, and jumped to LibreOffice when it was first released. No big problems on Windows XP at work, or OSX Lion at home (nor Linux anywhere...).
Now my office computer has been upgraded to Windows 7 Pro (i.e., complete wipe of the hard drive and the new OS installed from a corporate image). So I'm re-installing all my working software. This has become a pain because corporate no longer allows us to have administrator access on our own computers. Anyway, I downloaded LibO_3.4.3_Win_x86_install_multi.exe and ran it. Had to get "mommy" to come to my desk and authenticate as admin, but otherwise the installation proceeded with no errors or obvious hiccups. But I couldn't find it. LibreOffice did not appear as an option when right-clicking a .odt file and selecting "Open with..." There was no mention of libreoffice in All Programs. There was no mention of libreoffice in Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features (formerly "Add/Remove Programs"). The installation dialog had finished with an announcement of success and a checkbox to add a launch icon to the desktop. There was no icon. I found the launching executable "soffice.exe" along with the individual .exe files in C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice 3.4\program and made a shortcut for the desktop, which works. It will take additional tinkering to get it into the "All Programs" list. I guess it will never appear in >> Programs and Features. I downloaded and installed twice, in case the first time was a fluke. It wasn't. No doubt the problem is due to some peculiarity of our corporate Windows 7 roll-out (still being tinkered by our IT gnomes), but others might encounter the same issue, so I'm mentioning the workaround in case I'm not unique.
