Description morz 2007-10-07 00:02:30 UTC
Openoffice 2.3-rc3 is unable to find any of the many JREs that I have on my
Windows XP SP2 x64 edition.

How to reproduce:

Open the "Options" dialog, select "Openoffice.org/Java", and then check the "Use
JRE" box. Click on the "Add..." button, and select any JRE under "C:\Program
Files (x86)" or whatever the x86 program files directory is. The file dialog
won't pick any directory (like C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jreXXXXX or
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jreXXXXX\bin).

Also tested with the native x64 JDKs installed on the x64 program files folder.

Otherwise, Openoffice 2.3-rc3 runs fine under x64 WOW32 emulation, so far.

Are you sure that you don't have 64bit Java only? OOo 2.x doesn't support 64bit
Java.
Comment 2 morz 2007-10-08 10:24:24 UTC
Have three 32-bit JREs installed, none picked by OOo.
Comment 3 milek_pl 2008-07-16 20:32:17 UTC
Does this happen also in a newer version of OOo?
Comment 4 morz 2008-07-16 21:31:52 UTC
With OOo 2.3, I de-installed all the 32-bit JREs and removed all the 32-bit Java
directories, both the "real" directories and the old ones left out by the
automated Java update process, then installed a single JRE (6.0). This fixed the
problem.

And OOo 2.4 works just fine. However, as I no longer have the multiple-version
JRE mess, I'm not sure that the issue is really gone.

Since nobody else has reported it, I'm closing this bug. Soon, I'll have to
install a Java 5 JRE; will report if I find problems with the next OOo upgrade.
