from OPs dupe... My computer is an Acer TC-885 with an Intel Core i5 8400 CPU. I have failed 3 times in install LibreOffice 6.4.4.2 x86(AMD64) to this computer. However, the x86 version of .msi file did install properly runs well. All my previous updates were labeled x64 and installed without a hitch. Does that mean that the version I installed is not a 66 bit program?
Please be assured that tens of thousands of installations on Windows 10 systems have occurred without issue. Several questions for you to work through... 1. when downloaded, did you verify the MS Installer .msi package? The sha256, md5 hashes to compare against are provided from the download mirrors, but are here as well (including alternate mirrors): https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/6.4.4.2/win/x86_64/LibreOffice_6.4.4.2_Win_x64.msi.mirrorlist 2. do you have recent MSVC++ runtimes installed? The merged VS 2015-2019 packaging is helpful, eventhough LO will install the needed runtime if not present. If already on system, avoids on of the install steps in the LO package. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads 3. Decide if you want to run x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) LO builds, and stick to it--you can install in parallel if needed. But don't "install" both, impacts registry, user profile, and file association. 4. Further to 3, completely clean off the prior "install" (both 32-bit, 64-bit)--perhaps with aid of a removal utility (e.g. VSRevo's RevoUninstaller, or similar). 5. Finally, after getting things cleaned up, verify the packaging, from a command windows / PowerShell run as administrator, perform the installation from the command line and capture a verbose install log: msiexec.exe /i LibreOffice_6.4.4.2_Win_x64.msi /L*v lo644InstLog.txt if the install still balks, zip up the intallation log and attach it.
Suggestion 2 worked very well. Updating MSVC++ with the link you provided was all that was needed. 6.4.4.2 x64 and alpha 7 x64 both installed without a hitch and are running well.
