Error after fresh install

I have encountered an error when performing a fresh install
with the German version on Windows 7 64-bit (see attachment).

It seems that the error is related to the French dictionary (bundled
with the German binary) when the profile is created. After the
installation the dictionary is marked as inactive in the Extension
Manager with an "unknown state".

Same problem with French binaries (and bundled French dictionary)
Comment 1 Matthias Seidel 2019-04-18 12:01:55 UTC 
Beware:
On some Windows systems it shows the error box on some AOO dies silently
and has to be killed with taskmanager.
Comment 2 Matthias Seidel 2020-05-19 17:18:06 UTC 
Additional note, installing these extensions also result in a hanging AOO:

 - Oracle Report Builder
 - AOO PDF Import
Comment 3 Matthias Seidel 2020-05-29 14:42:48 UTC 
While testing Dev-m2 (German) on macOS I experienced the same issue described in comment #1.

At the first start AOO hangs after the setup screen. It has to be killed.
The next start is successful, however the French dictionary is not registered correctly.
Comment 4 Matthias Seidel 2020-10-20 14:59:02 UTC 
The French dictionary tries to integrate a "Dictionary Switcher" into the AOO menus via a Python script.

This is where it possibly hangs.

Previously python.exe could not start due to bug 127731, so with that fixed, maybe this needs re-testing.
Comment 7 Matthias Seidel 2023-10-03 07:15:05 UTC 
python.exe was used by the French dictionary.
uno.exe was surely used by the failing extensions.

Confirmed FIXED with latest trunk on Windows 10.

Fresh install is successful and all extensions can now be installed without problem!

Thank you!

That's fantastic news! Thank you for reporting and testing.

Since both bugs have a common cause, shouldn't this be resolved duplicate?
