Problem description: Steps to reproduce: 1. Install 3.6.1 RC 1 (over 3.6.0 RC 4) 2. Start LibreOffice 3. Crashes attempting to remove directory: c:\Documents and Settings\My user name\Application Data\LibreOffice\3\user\extensions\... I regret that I didn't write down the folders... I have shared, tmp and bundled left. I "fixed" this by manually deleting the folders until the startup crash stopped happening. The first folder that caused a problem was nested two folders down from the one listed above and held sun.org components. I had to delete 4 or five folders manually to get the startup to work without a fatal error about "unable to delete folder". Windows XP SP3 up to date patches.

Confirmed on WinXP SP3 after installing 3.6.1 rc1 over 3.6.0 final (= 3.6.0.4). Launching LibreOffice either from the desktop icon or by clicking on an associated file resulted in the sequence of error messages described above. Deleting the directory manually helped very little, as the next launch failed in exactly the same way on failing to delete another directory, then another — all subdirectories of c:\Documents and Settings\[me]\LibreOffice\3\user\extensions\bundled\registry\ Inspection revealed hundreds more files in subdirectories. Renaming the \registry\ element of the path did not help: its subdirectories were still found and failed to delete. Renaming the \bundled\ element of the path fixed the problem.

(In reply to comment #1) > Renaming the directory 'extensions' or 'bundled' > [%appdata%/LibreOffice/3/user/extensions/bundled/...] solved the problem. Do you still have a 'bundled' folder around that caused the problem and can you make it available as a zip? I wonder what could prevent soffice.bin from deleting it.
ah, can reproduce here myself (only on XP, appears to not happen with Windows 7)
(In reply to comment #8) > ah, can reproduce here myself (only on XP, appears to not happen with Windows > 7) So you don't need a sample anymore?
(In reply to comment #9) > So you don't need a sample anymore? no, found the problem; thanks

Verified with LibO-Dev_3.6.2.0+ Win-x86_9-Voreppe libreoffice-3-6 pull time 2012-08-21 23:44:01 core:1e49061273f1f64fe02e4ec916dc7b4b45207d21. That works well (no error message), tested with several LibreOffice user profiles.
Verified with Libo 3.6.1.2 rc (Build ID: e29a214); installed on LibO 3.6.1.1 rc (Build ID: 4db6344). Works fine.
