After updating to LibreOffice Portable 4.2.0, even after restarting my PC, it reads:
Another instance of LibreOffice is already running. Please close other instances of LibreOffice before launching LibreOffice Portable.

Some bug?

This will only happen if soffice.exe is running somewhere on your system. This can easily happen if you have either LibreOffice or OpenOffice installed locally and installed QuickStarter (selected by default) causing it to run in the background at every Windows startup down in the system tray. You'll see it in Task Manager if you check and select to show all processes. If that is not the case, please open a bug report.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
