Description Charlie 2013-11-17 14:23:22 UTC

This happened on two different windows vista computers.  I was trying to load Libreoffice the process stopped with no indication of an error.  On one system the free disk space was low (about 10 GB) so I decided to delete the windows.old directory to ensure there was adequate disk space.  As soon as windows.old was gone the LibreOffice loading process resumed and completed the installation.  The same thing happened on the second computer which had much more available diskspace.

Hi, I don't understand what is the problem, both installations was completed successfully once you liberate more space on your disks? so we can close this bug? Sophie

This wasn't a space issue.  The second computer had plenty of space.  It was the presence of the windows.old directory that prevented LibreOffice from loading.

Hi Charlie,

This looks like it could have been a problem with the installer and likely has been resolved. If you notice this same behaviour again with any of the newer versions, please let us know.
