Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Base 3.4.2 doesn't run on Windows 7

Hi,

I saved the instructions for adding the Java for my future reference if 
needed. These are slightly modified over what had been in the post:

> 1. Download the JRE archive (approx. 20 mb)

> 3. as root, copy the extracted directory to /usr/lib/jvm

> 5. Exit LO&  restart

> Instructions:
