Recent downloads of the GB-EN help (7.5.x.x) fail - used to work with pre-7.5 builds, so I'm wondering if something has changed in -perhaps- the file naming convention causing the failure? Always comes 'down' as a 0 byte file. Application msi's come down quite happily, but it's always the localised help that fails. Haven't tried anything other that the GB-EN. NB: the file exists, but I now have to to fetch it by hand (ie. via https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/pre-releases/win/x86_64/)
Help file format has changed. Previous: LibreOffice_7.5.2.1_Win_x86_helppack_en-GB-64 Current: LibreOffice_7.5.2.1_Win_x86-64_helppack_en-GB
Hello Richard, Is this issue still reproducible nowadays ?
Highly likely as the setup.msi download hasn't changed, and the latest help filename is ... LibreOffice_7.6.1.1_Win_x86-64_helppack_uk.msi Which is completely different again! The aborted Kotlin version works - but is not as easy to get started with.
Actually, reading the implementers website again, it seems that the version of the parallel installer pointed to by the wiki is obsolete and dead, whereas the Kotlin version has not been 'aborted' as I thought, but is the current version. The links on the LibreOffice wiki (https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/SI-GUI) are actually pointing to the 'dead' installer and **not** the current Kotlin version - which works.
The download link (tdf.io/siguiexe) is the same as on Florian's website: https://flosmind.wordpress.com/si-gui/ Richard, which version of SI-GUI are you using? Florian, is this still relevant after the latest version? And where can we see the latest commits for SI-GUI? The OpenHub, GitHub and Gerrit pages show the latest commit from 8 years ago.
I’m using the Kotlin/Java version..which is detailed on the BASE page of his website (https://flosmind.wordpress.com/). The version on the si-gui page is, as you say, over 8 years old, and the base page says it’s a dodo. Whilst it also says the Kotlin version is also dead, it does at work, even if you have to use the downloaded msi files directly, as there’s no install option. The version I’m using reports as Kotlin-SI-GUI-version: 2018.06.08-0744
… (missed) … no install option other than parallel (unlike the old app that allowed parallel *and* standalone.
