Hi guys,
there is an issue with yesterdays release:
The installer does not allow to install the package.
I downloaded LibreOfficePortable_3.5.2_MultilingualNormal.paf.exe and executed it.
When I come to the step where I should choose a folder, the installer does not allow me to continue.
I for example tried the folder
C:\Programme\LibreOfficePortable (I installed version 3.5.0 there before)
When I hit “Install” it says “The selected target directory is invalid.
Please choose a valid directory. [C:\Programme]”
I noted that the last part of the path is missing in the error message.
So I tried C:\Programme\LibreOfficePortable\LibreOfficePortable
Then the path in the message reads “C:\Programme\LibreOfficePortable”, but it still does not install.
It does not make a difference, if the target folder, which I specified, exists or does not exist.
Installing to C:\1 does work however.
I did not have this issue with older releases (e.g. installing 3.5.0 worked correctly).
I am using Windows XP Home, 32 bit.
Installing to $PROGRAMFILES has always been unsupported, and now the installer disallows it entirely, as will the app launchers themselves soon. We recommend installing to ?:\PortableApps

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Thanks for your answers! So what seemed to be a bug in fact is a feature.
Thanks for the info.
I guess I'll move my folder then.
