Open Office Portable 3.1.1 crash

Submitted by PortableUser2009 on November 4, 2009 - 4:02am

Hi,

if I try to start Open Office Portable 3.1.1
on Windows Vista Home Premium it crashes after startup.
I receive the system message
"Open Office does not work any more".

Any idea how to solve this problem?
That would be great!

Path

What path do you have it installed to? Anything longer than X:\PortableApps\OpenOfficePortable will cause issues. Otherwise, is it an upgrade or fresh install? If an upgrade, try a fresh install.

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

fwiw, i've been using openoffice portable 3.1.0 installed to
"D:\Documents and Settings\x\papps\OpenOfficePortable_3.1.0"
without a problem.

Open office

has some very long paths internally and doesnt handle long paths well. Its just the way the program works.
This has been like this since a while now, I dont know why yours has worked till now.
