See Comment #14 here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37883#c14

Basically the issue happens if it can't find a valid Java install in the path stored in %APPDATA%\LibreOffice\3\user\config\javasettings_Windows_x86.xml.

This tends to happen when users updated to Java 7 and removed their Java 6 installation.

Note that if you apply the workaround it could be that you get errors saying you have no JRE installed. To circumvent it, either reinstall after deleting aforementioned file or try setting the path to the current JRE manually in the LibreOffice settings (this latter method should work in theory but I haven't tested it).

Suggested fix of deleting the file %APPDATA%\LibreOffice\3\user\config\javasettings_Windows_x86.xml worked. Thank you.

Looks like this isn't an issue that needs to be resolved or isn't our bug to begin with. If this isn't the case please mark as UNCONFIRMED and provide more info.
