Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 89759
Application will not load
Last modified: 2008-09-01 14:32:30 UTC
Loaded 3.0 Beta Dev M_13 from Linux.cz for Win XP - build date 5/20 Installed without removing current copy of OOo 3.0 first - final step in installation asked to reboot PC - rebooted PC - OO.o will not load. Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library: Program: c:\program files\OpenOffice.org 3\programs\soffice.bin R6034 An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
Changed component to Installation from dbaccess ? force of habit I guess. Dropped priority to p4 I went in to remove the copy of OO.o 3 and try a fresh install and found oddly that the Add/Remove programs tool under XP was reporting not 1, not 2 but 4 copies of OO.o 3.0 Dev as being installed on my machine... I removed each of these - the first one took a bit of time to remove, about what one would expect, as did the 2nd, but the 3rd and 4th finished in a flash..that was odd. Then ran a registery cleaner - ccleaner.com Rebooted and then did a fresh install of the m_13 files. This time the installation process did not say I needed to reboot the system. The application starts up with no errors now. I am still leaving this as an issue however since it does not seem to me that the installer is quite right - If removing old copies of OO.o first is now a prerequisite then the installer should not proceed undtil the user does so.
does the problem still occure in a current version?
Installing OOo300 m_1 under Ubuntu 8.04 (64bit) using the developers build from OpenOffice.org there was no problem with older versions - it installed without a problem and cleaned up all it needed to apparently Setting to WORKSFORME
