Description davidstride 2019-12-24 15:59:31 UTC
Description:
Downloaded L-) 6.2.8_Win_x64. Multiple attempts to install failed with 1303 error.  Insufficient privileges. Same happens whether I log on as administrator or myself (with administrator status). Meanwhile old Libre-Ofice installation has been removed and same issue arises if I try to reinstall the older version

Steps to Reproduce:
1.download 6.2.8 update from your site
2.save file in downloads
3.click on file in downloads
4. Installer wizard opens
5. Hits a wall as described, after accepting that re-boot will be required

Actual Results:
wizard gets to point where it says 'copying files' and then stops with box saying "1303 error"
insufficient privileges, refer administrator. I have administrator status, but logged off and on again as admin, and vice versa, several times
Old LibreOffice installation has disappeared and same sequence leading to 'error 1303 arises if I try to reinstall earlier version.

Expected Results:
normal installation should proceed


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

See the project Wiki:

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Faq/General/General_Installation_Issues_(Windows)

But, first thing is to open Task Manager -> Details page and kill any soffice.bin or soffice.exe processes if any are hanging around.

Also while there, if you have a printer controller (Brother Control Center is especially problematic causing the 1303 errors) shut it down.

We'll assume you've checked the hash value of the downloaded installer and it is correct and complete. Do so if you have not.

Then please run a Command Windows or PowerShell session "As administrator" and run install from the CLI so you can capture a verbose installation log, i.e. from the folder holding the installer enter:

"msiexec.exe /i LibreOffice_6.3.4.2_Win_x64.msi /L*v lo6342InstLog.txt" 

(the quotes are not needed unless your have file paths with spaces).

Do that, and if still having issues, you can zip the log file and attach it.
