Description aziem 2009-03-01 22:53:45 UTC 
When trying to bootstrap OOo 3.0.1 from OOo Python on Win XP (as administrator),
I get the error

Dialog title: 
 soffice - Fatal Error
Body:
 Program cannot be started.
 Language could not be determined

The same works fine not executed within Python; or with OOo 2.4 (so it is a
regression); or with Linux (so it's just Windows OOo 3.0).

I use this method, probably like many folks, to start bootstrap OOo. I myself
would like to update these OOo benchmarks[1] and introduce a cross-platform
benchmarks.

I will attach a kit to reproduce with Python code and .batch file.

I can reproduce the problem with OOO300m15 (i.e., OOo 3.0.1) but not with
OOO310m8 (i.e., toward OOo 3.1.0), so this is probably duplicate to one of the
various OOo/Python issues that got fixed for OOo 3.1.  (Caveat:  Due to both the
OOo-specific python.exe and soffice.exe using the URE_BOOTSTRAP environment
variable, the python.exe and soffice.exe need to be from the same OOo
installation---in case you have more than one installed---so that the
URE_BOOTSTRAP value set by python.exe is also correct for soffice.exe to use.)
