Are any folks out there using LibreOffice 7.5.0 on Windows 7, 8.0, or 8.1 successfully? It crashes with an error in kernelbase.dll while starting up on both our 32-bit and 64-bit Win 7, 8, and 8.1 test virtual machines. This is what's preventing our 7.5.0 release.

I asked on Twitter, too.

CubicExplorer Needs Extra Steps to Find Manual - Is there an established way to fix this?

I was under deadline and WIndows Explorer was hanging, so I needed a replacement right away until I could look into it. From the portableapps application I couldn't see which app had support. Cubic Explorer was great until I needed the help file for a simple thing. I would have picked ANY file explorer that was supported with a single click.

This is a topic that applies to all PortableApps, if it just involved Cubic Explorer....I wouldn't consider there to be a problem.
