Description Garmacor 2018-03-17 18:18:57 UTC
Hi.
I can't install the new 6.0.2.1 because of this: https://scr.hu/11qr/wuoin
I tried to uninstall the previous 5.x.x didn' t record the number. I manually deleted the folder and rid all registry entry with the name: libreoffice and still can't install it. Before I tried to uninstall from windows and even with the new updtaer but both needed the original 5.x .msi wich was deleted long time ago, why I need to keep it?...
Please help me thank you.

This has instructions on getting an installation log: https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=78765

They say about the log: "Search in that file for "Error 1714". It should be towards the end of what may be a long file.
A few lines above that you will hopefully find what the msi installer didn't like, and it is usually a registry key that is missing something msiexec is looking for."

Yes I read that, but:
- I don't remember the version before 5.x.x I didn't realise it's needed to uninstall.
- I tried to install the new 6.x that told can't find the original 5.x .msi (I delete it after install)
- I tried to remove alone too, same info need .msi
- I removed manually all LibreOffice maps, files even registry entries I get the message I link it.
- I realize I need the numbers of the older install, but sorry removed, forgotten :(

Now I installed a stand alone verzion seems it works, but the bug it's very intresting with this 1714 code. No program worked before in this way I'm surprised, and even angry I can't resolve it with 24 years of work in informatical industry :)

The forum topic does not say you need to know the older version. It has instructions on how you can log the whole installation process and find out the exact cause of the error.
