Created attachment 53874 [details] dialogbox with error Problem description: An error after running LO: "This application has failed to start..." Steps to reproduce: 1. Installing LO 3.4.4. 2. Waiting one day... 3. Running application from "Start" menu. Current behavior: An error "This application has failed to start because an application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem". It's strange but directly after install LO, all was ok. The problem arised at a next day. I found this problem in both last versions of LO: 3.4.3 and 3.4.4. Expected behavior: Running an application. Platform (if different from the browser): Windows XP x64 SP2 ENG (ver. 5.2 build 3790) Marcin / nyquist
I wonder if this is related to the bug #42772. Tor, Fridrich, did we broke 3.4.4 on all 64-bit Windows system? Is this related to the fix for Explorer extension, bug 36950? BTW: I guess that it worked the first day because of the quickstarter functionality or so; you were probably running an older version until you rebooted the system
I cannot confirm this on 64-bit Windows 7. I don't have 64-bit XP.
Can not reproduce either... Resolve as WORKSFORME unless we get better reproduction instructions?
Asking the same question here as in bug #42772, which might be a duplicate, or not: Could there be bogus versions of msvcr90.dll somewhere in PATH on the problematic systems? Would you people who have seen this problem say that your systems are ones where you (or somebody else) have been doing "tricks" while trying to fix various problems in various software? Perhaps "tricks" that require administrator access, perhaps inspired by random more or less reliable/misguided advice found by googling? Like copying dlls here and there?
NOT reproducible with "LibreOffice 3.4.4 - WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) German UI [Build ID: OOO340m1 (Build:402)]" Removed useless URL Modified Version due to report @nyquist: "installed" is a little rare. Did you install newly or update? Any experience with LibO3.3, LibO 3.4.1/2, LibO 3.5 (Master) or OOo?
@Rainer Bielefeld - Did you install newly or update? First I installed (newly) LO 3.4.3. On then next day I didn't can open the LO. I uninstalled it and then installed never version of LO - 3.4.4. As is the case of previous version, first all was ok, but on the next day I'v got the same error.
@nyquist: I started wiht 3.3.0Beta2 and did 100000 modifications, so my configuration is not really typical. But I am sure that I did an update and also a new install after an uninstall (later)
Hmm, nobody else is able to reproduce this. It must be somehow related to your particular setup. Such bugs can't block the release => lowering severity a bit. I am not sure if we could do anything about it at all. I suggest to try new version 3.4.5 or 3.5.0.
Not reproducible, only 1 user in the universe affected, so this is not a MAB (except for nyquist, of course) Removed "Blocks", new status
Last chance for this bug: @nyguist: Do you still have this problem? YES: Try to delete your user dir NO: Change status to RESOLVED INVALID ( That is a bit hard, but noone can reproduce it, you may also choose NOTABUG or WONTFIX) Florian
Sorry, false status, change to needinfo

To keep this message short, more infos are available @ https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/NeedinfoClosure#Statement Thanks for understanding and hopefully updating your bug, so that everything is prepared for developers to fix your problem.
