Hi, all you out there in the crazy world,
Many of you seem to have problems with installing LibreO. I experienced
that too; first I had problems installing and after that problems with
crashing every time I started LO-Base. I don't know what I did wrong or
what I did right but now LO on my both computers (seems to!?) work OK.
Below I describe what I guess were the main points of how I finally got
LO working.
1 >> I had OpenO (OO) for many years on my both
machines:PC-Win7Prof/32bit and Laptop-Win7Prem/64bit- in early January
this year I decided to try LO
2 >> I choosed LO-3.4.5 that at the moment was mentioned to be the
latest stable version
3 >> somewhere I had seen a note that if changing from OO to LO the
former program must be completely removed before installing the new,
because they use some same components (DLLs ?); meaning that every time
I replaced OO=>LO and then back LO=>OO I first used
ControlPanel/Uninstall and then manually removed remaining files from
ProgramFiles and Users/"user"/AppsData/Roaming => reboot to secure changes
4 >> the Java/JRE is said to be a must for both OO and LO; JRE is
already included in OO but not in LO (why not?). The JRE has to be
installed on the computer BEFORE installing LO and there are different
JRE versions for 32bits and 64bits systems. The laptop was immediately
OK but the PC required many trials and errors before I found the JRE
version "jxpiinstall.exe" on Java Home Page.
That is how January went by - since then to now I have
studied-tried-experimented-guessed-cried-damned to get an idea about
LibreO-Base.
It is hard days life to be a non-expert LO-user.
Good luck - glad if that is to help!
