Description: I recently downloaded LibreOffice version 25.2.3.0 Portable MultilingualStandard (*.paf.exe). I am running Windows 10 (x64).
Today I ran the EXE file and chose to install to C:\Program Files (portable)\LibreOfficePortable Note that while C:\Program Files is a system folder C:\Program Files (portable) is a folder that I created myself, with no special properties.

Hi John,

If I were you I would forget about packaging LibreOffice 25.8.0 it has a bug where it consistently crashes if the user attempts to utilise the 'Tabbed' Interface. Bug report on the issue can be seen here: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=167956 If you look at Comment 7 in the report you will see that the bug will be fixed in LibreOffice 25.8.1

Update 25.2.2 stalls LibreOffice from opening

Submitted by bruce2 on April 22, 2025 - 5:20pm

I was automatically updated to V25.2.2 in Libre Office Portable this morning. I know this because when I tried to open a .docx folder, it stalled and I was brought to your update page at https://whatsnew.libreoffice.org/25.2.2/. I didn't realize this portable version updates itself.
Anyway, now when I click on either a .doc or .docx file I have, I see a flash of something I can't make out for a millisecond, and it takes the file roughly 10-12 seconds to open. Before the update, the file opened immediately.

[Fixed] LibreOffice Portable 25.2.1 (Multilingual-All) doesn't have all available languages in installer

Submitted by noki on March 24, 2025 - 4:17am

The list of possible installation languages in LibreOffice 25.2.1 Portable MultilingualAll is missing quite a few languages like Dutch. This removes the method of just installing the selected language plus English (using the "Remove Extra Languages" during installation)
