LibreOffice 4.4.1 install question

Submitted by Ian_W359 on March 12, 2015 - 9:11pm

Hello,

Just a question about the LibreOffice updater, does the installation from the PortableApps update checker remove the extra languages as the .EXE installer offers? I am asking this as I have recently downloaded LO 4.4.1 (currently using 4.4.0) and the installer does not run (when run through 'Install a new app'). Is it worth trying to install it through the update system? I am using MS Vista SP1.

Thanks,
Ian

[Fixed] Some strings in Base's Java functions not in proper language in LibreOffice Portable 4.4.0 Normal language pack

Hi,

I'm using LibreOffice 4.4.0 now and found several bugs in the packaged version. I didn't check how the packaged version was packaged.

I'm using the German version. It was updated from 4.3.4 to 4.4.0.
Same bugs occured there.

>1st: unable to change language
steps to retry:
Open LibreOffice Portable=>Extras=>Options=>Language Settings=>Languages=>User interface: German to English=>OK
There is a window that tells me to restart LibreOffice. If I close LibreOffice Portable and restart it, the language is still German.
(was set wrong in PortableApps Launcher)

Can't Open Excel Files

Submitted by wr4 on January 13, 2015 - 8:00pm

Is anyone running this on XP? I just 'installed' the latest version (on XP Pro SP3) and it will not open Excel files (xlsx, xlsm), but it will open Word files; all saved in Office 2007.

The error box says General Error, General input/output error.

Anyone know how to fix this?

LibreOffice Portable Help Installer

Like others, I wanted to install the help files for LibreOffice, but found no quick and easy way of doing this. Even extracting the files, using 7-Zip, leaves some files with the wrong names and wrong locations. So, to get past this, I wrote a portable application, which I call "LibreOffice Portable Help Installer". All you need to do is the following:

(1) Download the "LibreOffice Help For Offline Use" installer from the non-portable LibreOffice site.

Unable to Install via PortableApps Installer

Since weeks I'm trying to install LibreOffice, for the first time on my 12.0.5. via the Installer
Now this is LibreOffice 4.3.5, but before that might have been another version.

I always get the following error :

Unable to download the file. This could be due to a proxy or network issue or the hosting server not permitting downloads from your location. File: https://portableapps.com/redirect/?a=LibreOfficePortable&t=http%3A%2F%2F...
