Description Don 2017-11-15 18:44:28 UTC
Description:
Went to install version 5.4.3.2 64-bit and installation failed.  Cannot uninstall the previous version -- but it no longer runs.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install LibreOffice_5.4.3_Win_x64.msi -- actually 5.4.3.2
2.Error comes up:  Error 1500. Another installation is in progress. 
3.

Actual Results:  
Will not install.  Did several recommended windows fixes such as turning off the WinInstaller.  Doing that, the new problem comes up -- cannot find LibreOffice 5.4.0 (uninstaller).

I never loaded version 5.4.0.  I went from 5.3 to 5.4.2.  And I can't find version 5.4.0 to see if having that available might help.

 

Expected Results:
I just cannot get LibreOffice installed now.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
I no longer have any version of LibreOffice and cannot install older versions either.

Not to sound super cliche, but have you tried restarting the machine?
Comment 2 Don 2017-11-15 19:25:48 UTC
In fact, I have restarted the machine -- many times.

The installation has worked well on two other windows machines -- both configured almost identically to the problem machine.

It won't work at first because it thinks another installation -- could be anything -- is running.  Disabling the Windows Installer, rebooting, re-enabling the Windows Installer and then running the LibreOffice installer gets past that.  It then gets stuck trying to uninstall LibreOffice 5.4.0.3 -- which I never installed and I don't have the installation file it is looking for.
Comment 3 V Stuart Foote 2017-11-15 21:34:00 UTC
This can easily be some other application that has hung the Microsoft Installer.

Google the Installer error-1500

If present, clearing the HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Installer\InProgress value should clear things.
