To Whom it May Concern,
Trying to download and install the latest Windows version of LibreOffice
from a machine in the UK running Windows 7 and Internet Explorer.
Using the standard process for downloading from the download page the
LibreOffice install file came as a *.MAN file. Clearly this would not
install. When I changed the filename to *.msi it would install. My friend,
who was actually trying to do the install before he called me out, would
have no idea about doing this and there were no instructions to do this on
the Installation Instructions web page.
Thinking this was a problem with Internet Explorer I tried again with the
Opera browser on my own system. Exactly the same thing happened. Even
though the link looked like an .msi file it actually came as a .MAN file!
I am letting you know so you can address what I consider is a serious
fault and obstruction to getting users to switch to LibreOffice from other
Office software.
Thank you.
Brian
