Hello,
I have noticed that The Document Foundation has released the 
PortableApps.com version of LibreOffice 4.1.4.
It successfully downloads!  Before, I was having trouble just 
downloading it (as seen here: 
http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/msg35225.html).
I installed it on my flash drive, and everything worked fine.
Then, upon opening the LibreOfficePortable.exe file, I got an error: 
"LibreOffice Portable (PortableApps.com Launcher) has stopped working."
I am using a Windows Vista x64-based system.  I prefer to use the 
Mozilla Firefox web browser.
However, after opening soffice.exe in 
%LibreOfficePortableDirectory%\App\libreoffice\program\soffice.exe, the 
program functioned perfectly  At first, I thought maybe something 
happened when I checked the "Remove extra languages" box in the 
installer.  But, after reinstalling it without that box checked, the 
problem persisted.  After rebooting the system (I don't know if that 
changed anything), I opened the same download and installed LibreOffice 
Portable to a different folder.  It successfully installed, and I didn't 
get any "stopped working" errors.  I went back to the folder I 
previously installed the software under and the "stopped working" error 
persisted.  The filesystem permissions for the two folders were the 
exact same, so I don't understand what happened.  I re-downloaded 
LibreOffice Portable, and upon opening the installer, now the "Installer 
integrity check failed."  I don't know why the NSIS installer was 
complaining.  I could still see the contents of the .paf.exe file when I 
opened it in 7-Zip.  $RO, $_OUTDIR, and other common directories in a 
PortableApps.com/NSIS installer, along with the files, were present.  
Yet, according to the NSISError thrown, "common causes include 
incomplete download or damaged media."  Is there any explanation for this?
The WinPenPack X-LibreOffice worked fine for me 
(http://www.winpenpack.com/en/download.php?view.1354). However, at the 
time of this writing, the LibreOffice Portable page on libreoffice.org 
only links to the PortableApps.com package, and does not mention the 
WinPenPack version.  I am confused, since the "Author Link" on the 
WinPenPack page goes to libreoffice.org, instead of some other 
third-party.  Is X-LibreOffice made/supported by The Document 
Foundation?  If so, why doesn't libreoffice.org mention the WinPenPack 
version?  Other people in this mailing list have recommended the 
WinPenPack version over the PortableApps.com version, and even asked the 
same question 
(http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/msg35761.html and 
http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/msg35771.html).
Thank you.
