LibreOffice Portable

Hi,

I installed jPortable in CommonFiles using the instructions provided.
I went to Tools -> Options -> Advanced and choose the Oracle Java there.

When opening any table in Base database I get Java runtime error and the table does not open. It seems that the jPortabile is either old or corrupt and cannot be used with LibreOffice.

What can I do?

Thanks!

Hello together,

I found out that if the Installation path of the Portable App Directory is longer than 44 Characters a libre office installation that belongs to that Portable App Directory crashes right at the start of application. Hence, the workaround is quite obvious but was a hard lesson to find the cause of the crash.
Reproducable on:
Windows 11 (Version 24H2, OS Build 261006901, 64-bit Edition)
.NET Framework: 2.0, 3.0, 3.5, 4.8 / .NET Core: - / .NET: 8 / Java: 1.8 x86,1.8 x64

The portable version of LO Calc doesn't seem to do the Jumbo spreadsheet experimental feature. Experimental features can be turned on in the main LO app, but calc doesn't have the option in the UI to enable the Jumbo sheet size. If you enable it in the advanced settings it doesn't honor it dies at 1M rows.

I can't seem to find anything that lists this as an removed feature or as known limitation.

Any insight would be appreciated. I have some ppl that really can only deal with anything resembling data when presented as a spreadsheet.

Summary of the situation can be seen here: Are Releases of LibreOffice at Version 25.8 and Above for Windows Now Only 64-bit?

For John to note, if wanting to pack LibreOffice 32-bit for the 25.8 series then you need to go LibreOffice download archive and get the 32-bit implementation there.

Hope this helps.

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

Trying to download 25.2.3. The download times out.

I went directly to SourceForge. The files are missing from the LibreOffice folder
https://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/LibreOffice%20Portable/

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.

Hi

If I install LibreOffice portable via the PA platform, will it also automatically install jPortable? If not, where can I get jPortable?
