Hi,
I have installed Java Portable (jPortable 32 bit) and I have accepted installation location:
--> PortableApps\CommonFiles\Java
then I have launch LibreOffice 7.4.5.1 - Multilingual-Standard, and I have enabled Java runtime:
--> Tools\Options\Advanced --> ticked 'Oracle Corporation ver. 1.8.0_361' --> Apply --> OK -> for setting up location then I have restarted, but Java RE remain unticked.
Why?
This had already happened with the latest builds.
System info:
Windows 7, x64, Ita
Looks like a LO itself related bug. The 7.4.x version is generation a lot of bugs.
It crashed when updated, after finding a way to run some Java related extensions (not only LanguageTool).
The best way is to report it to the Document Foundation!
It should be automatic via the launcher. Are you manually changing the location for some reason?
Are you manually changing the location for some reason?
NO.
I use latest 'LibreOffice Portable Fresh' build of 2023-02-23. Both 'LibreOffice Portable' and 'Java Portable' are to 32 bit.
Ok, I can confirm this issue and think I have a fix. I'll post when I've got a test version for you.
I've put together a test fix that seems to work. You can download this zip file to try it. Unzip it to your LibreOfficePortable directory (after backing it up). This will replace the LibreOfficePortable.exe launcher as well as the LibreOfficePortable.ini and custom.nsh launcher files within App\AppInfo\Launcher.
I confirm that Your solution works perfectly. 
Thank You very much.
Do You think to put this solution to next LibreOffice Portable? LibreOffice 7.5.1 has already released at March 2, 2023.
Yes, it's a part of the 7.5.1 build. I'm caring for a family member but will be working on the build shortly. It needs some extra attention to test for and offer an OS-level patch on some systems that is now required on 7.5+.
This persists in 7.5.2. 7.5.2 came out while I was working on 7.5.1 and I accidentally lost the updates as I transitioned over. As most users won't need this, I won't be doing a revision but will include the patch in the next release. Users who need this can continue applying the fix above: https://portableapps.com/comment/252850#comment-252850
Unfortunately the fix of 2023-03-04 does not work.
It seemed to work, but after I closed the program .. at the next restart it gave me the error message (please do a fresh install).
I will keep LibreOffice like this until the next build.
Thanks.
Just to confirm, it worked on 7.4.5 but not in 7.5.2, correct?
Yes, I confirm that is worked perfectly on 7.4.5.
I investigated deeply.
LO 7.5.2 with fix 2023-03-04 works, but if you try to build yourself an updated version of the installer it doesn't:
Processing script file: "C:\PortableApps\LibreOfficePortable\Other\Source\PortableApps.comInstaller.nsi" (UTF16LE)
warning 6000: unknown variable/constant "{OPTIONALSECTIONINSTALLEDWHENSILENT}" detected, ignoring (macro:_==:1)
File: "..\..\Optional1\*.*" -> no files found.
Usage: File [/nonfatal] [/a] ([/r] [/x filespec [...]] filespec [...] |
/oname=outfile one_file_only)
Error in script "C:\PortableApps\LibreOfficePortable\Other\Source\PortableApps.comInstaller.nsi" on line 1911 -- aborting creation process
so I thought it's really not worth applying the old patch, and maybe not even a new one.
The patch is for the launcher only. It has nothing to do with the installer.
The error you're seeing is because you need a text file called extra_languages_removed.txt within the App\libreoffice folder. It uses this to allow the optional section of the installer to be created and is unrelated to this thread.
here are the screenshots of the fix 2023-03-04 on LO 7.5.2.
file 'LibreOffice 7.5.2 fix 2023-03-04.zip': https://www.upload.ee/files/15120954/LibreOffice_7.5.2_fix_2023-03-04.zi...
Those screenshots aren't relevant to what we're discussing here. What matters is whether or not the patch fixes the Java issue. Do not try to recompile the installer or launcher.
Yes, the patch (fix 2023-03-04) fixes the Java issue also in LO 7.5.2, even if I restart my PC.
This is fixed with today's released of LibreOffice Portable Fresh 7.5.3 and Still 7.4.7.
