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.
