I had the same problem here, running jre 7 on XP and installing the newest  
LibreOffice.
The problem was fixed by removing javasettings_Windows_x86.xml (I actually  
just renamed it to javasettings_Windows_x86.xm0) and then when I started  
LibreOffice a new and correct version was created. The old xml file  
contained info about the jre6, which was not there any longer.
Apparently LO 3.5.4.2 didn't detect the correct Java version when  
upgrading from LO 3.4.xx.
That xml file was located inside \LibreOffice\3\user\config\ inside the  
<user>\AppData folder
