Description: Having some trouble with dictionaries in the portable installation of LibreOffice 7.6.6, I tried to remove/add/reinstall dictionaries. Unfortunately there's a rather useless error message "an error occurred during file opening". The message is useless, because it does not state *which* error occurred, and *which file* the error message refers to. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to re-install an extension that is already there, and select "instal lfor all users" Actual Results: An error occurs that is not really helpful. Expected Results: Some helpful error message shopuld be output. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Version: 7.6.6.3 (x86) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: d97b2716a9a4a2ce1391dee1765565ea469b0ae7 CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: de-DE Calc: CL threaded

There is only one step described. 1. Uninstall the extension, which is installed the wrong way (not for all users…) 2. Install the extension with the right properties you want. If you try to install for all users it will only work with admin rights. The error occurs when trying to insert an extension file, which is shown at the bottom of the dialog. So which other information do you expect?

I thought that for portable installations I only need write access to the directory where the installation is. > > The error occurs when trying to insert an extension file, which is shown at > the bottom of the dialog. So which other information do you expect? I'd expect something helpful, as neither clean de-installation, nor re-installation seemed to work. My guess is that *something* is messed up, but from the error message shown, it's completely unclear what it is.
