NOT reproducible with "LibreOffice 3.4.5 German UI [Build ID: OOO340m1 (Build:502)]" parallel Server installation on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit).

Does the problem persist when you rename the User Profile in Application Data folder (after you closed LibO)?
Comment 2 Alexander Taubenkorb 2012-02-05 12:33:16 UTC
I am using LibreOffice 3.4.5 OOO340m1 (Build:502) on Windows 7 Starter (32bit).

I tried your proposal but it did not work. I uploaded a screencast (http://www.screenr.com/bIws). Maybe this gives you more information.

@Alexander Taubenkorb:
Sometimes the Profile trick helps, and it's the most easy way.

Can you now please try an server installation due to <https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel> "without frills"?
If that one will work, we can try to find out the differences between your 2 installations, if not I have no more suggestions.
Comment 4 Alexander Taubenkorb 2012-02-06 11:03:05 UTC
I did the following:
1) Downloaded OOo 3.4.5 (http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/3.4.5/win/x86/LibO_3.4.5_Win_x86_install_multi.exe)
2) extracted the .exe with 7zip.
3) started the "setup.exe /a" via cmd
4) installed to new directory d:\lot
5) Changed UserInstallation in .\program\bootstrap.ini to UserInstallation=$ORIGIN/../Data/settings
6)started .\program\soffice.exe
7) started writer and tried to start the assistant => WORKS :-)

Thank you very much! What shall I do next?

@Alexander Taubenkorb
If you again see a User Profile related problem please put me to CC.

WFM, although rename UP is not a really acceptable workaround.
