Description nospamforaxel-1 2018-10-23 12:42:48 UTC 
On my Windows 10 computers the SI-GUI neglects the install directory and installs the LibreOffice Parallel Installation into the root-directory.

What goes wrong?

Which additional information can I supply?

Thanks and best regards

Hello,
Is it with SI-GUI 5.0.0.8 ?

This is 5.0.0.9.

Are you trying to install to a system folder with special permissions? Maybe try saving under My Documents/ Documents or to Desktop to see if the message still occurs?
Comment 4 nospamforaxel-1 2019-01-22 09:28:03 UTC 
This may be the case. It's a company laptop where there are some strange limitations. Although the folder I want to install LibreOfficeParallel is within my user directory and I don't see any special restrictions.

I would expect that SI would ask me when it has difficulties to access the foreseen installation directory. But this does not happen. It just install itself into the root-dir.

Trying to install into my Desktop leads to the same result. All directories and files land in root (C:\).

I'm wondering if this fixes you issue -> https://windowsreport.com/cant-install-anything-windows-10/#2

What about the Kotlin version?
