LibreOffice Portable

After about four days of attempting to get an updated copy of LO it still repeatedly fails to install. I did managed to install the alternative but prefer to be on the stable release.

This may be the same issue as noted here

Hi John,

I see in Outdated Official Portable Applications that you are currently building a "LibreOffice Legacy 7.5.9.

This is confusing. As far as I am aware there are two 'editions' of LibreOffice — there is LibreOffice Fresh and LibreOffice Still. So what is LibreOffice 'Legacy'? Is this something new?

Hi,
on LO 7.6 everythings working fine, but after updating to LO 24.2.0 I have trouble with edit the options. I try to edit the options under "extra" > "options". Then my system runs und runs and runs - nothing happens. Ok - I close the app manually. After restarting LO I got a message about the crashing. I choose "safe mode" and LO started. When running the "options" again, the app hangs again.
My first idea was a wrong java version, but I installed Java 1.8 in 32 bit from Oracle. (regular I use the java apps from zulu). It doesn't help...

Any idea's ???

If a Windows device has regular (non-portable) LibreOffice installed, can one also install and use LibreOffice portable? Or will this cause problems for one or both versions?

The goal is to be able to easily use 2 different versions of LibreOffice without any fuss.

My biggest concern is that if the portable version of LibreOffice is cleaning up all the LibreOffice registry keys it uses, that it will delete the registry keys that the installed version expects.

Also, does the Windows version matter for the answer to this question?

> Download From Publisher
> Version 7.6.4 for Windows, Multilingual-All
> 257MB download / 800-1300MB installed
→

The list of possible installation languages in LibreOffice 7.6.4 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)

I have tested both on Windows 10 and 11 on two different computers both with 64-bit OS. All "direct" LibreOffice apps don't start with Portable Apps version of LibreOffice 7.5.7.1.

I have tried with different install paths with new clean installation and it does not work no matter how I have changed the install path. The path C:\PortableApps\LibreOfficePortable7.5.7.1\ was for example used.

It's the same behavior when starting from within the portableapps.com launcher as directly from installed path using windows explorer.

After several attempts over 2 days, using the app directory, Libre Office fails to install.

The download runs for many minutes, then shows a message that the download fails to validate.

Thank you.

I have a set of several Impress files, heavy on math formulas/images, a little larger (~2M) than I normally use. The content was initially from the Pearson textbook publisher, in Powerpoint format, converted to Impress. These files work fine in my current version of Libre Office (7.6), but they fail in Portable Libre Office (7.6).

The new version LibreOffice Portable Fresh 7.6.0 does not work.
