Description particle_mann 2019-02-11 00:40:02 UTC
Description:
I attempt to install LibreOffice, about 3/4 of the way through it complains about conflicts with NVidia components, Firefox, Steam, or all of the above.  Regardless of whether you choose close the programs or don't close and restart required, after the status is blank after it says "Updating component registration" the installer encounters an error, rolls back all changes, and does not complete installation.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Download LibreOffice 6.1.x or 6.2.x, either via torrent or from the various official mirrors
2.Install them
3.When the error is thrown about program conflicts, either choose close the programs or don't close the programs, then continue with installation


Actual Results:
Installation does not complete, end user is annoyed :)

Expected Results:
The installation should complete, leaving a new version of LibreOffice to use and enjoy


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
I am running Windows 7 on a fairly new processor that Windows claims is better suited for Windows 10.

That's really weird. Does it only happening installing LibreOffice? is LibreOffice previously installed? If so, what happens if you delete it before installing it agian ?

Hi! Thanks for the report!

Additional NEEDINFO bits:
1. What was that "an error" that installer encountered after the status is blank after it says "Updating component registration"? Please post the error message.
2. Please see FAQ [1], section "Create an installation log"; and create and attach a log of the failed installation, which hopefully would make finding the error easier.
3. Please provide Windows 7 version information - is SP1 installed? I have seen situations when SP1 was actually not installed, but "faked" using some hacks like registry tweaks that magically turned Windows into thinking that it's SP1; note that that is not a supported configuration.
