The Beta1 version cannot be launched: LOdev 4.0 - Fatal Error Unable to launch the application. Cannot determine the media type: vnd.sun.star.expand:$UNO_USER_PACKAGES_CACHE/uno_packages/lu15aprv.tmp_/SNIPPED.zip/description.xml
Stephan, do it trigger any bell? Urmas, could you please provide some more information? What Windows versions are you using? Have you done standard or custom installation? Do you have some extra extensions installed? Do you see the same problem also with fresh user configuration? Please, do not remove the old configuration completely. If it works with with the fresh configuration, please zip and upload the broken one for debugging purposes. See http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile for some hints.
Can we have an archive of your user-profile ? that URL should (I think) end up pointing there. Thanks for filing !
Neither "Unable to launch the application" nor "Cannot determine the media type" appear to be strings originating from the LO code base. What does the message box (assuming you quote from one) look like (screenshot)? Also, how exactly do you try to start LO?
Created attachment 71747 [details] Error message
Created attachment 71749 [details] profile Unfortunately the original profile was not preserved, but I can reproduce this behavior by a new profile and a certain extension. Here it is with extension content removed, as it doesn't affect the reproduction. Additionally, during its installation the following message appears: (com.sun.star.lang.IllegalArgumentException) { { { Message = "\X041d\X0435 \X043c\X043e\X0433\X0443 \X043e\X043f\X0440\X0435\X0434\X0435\X043b\X0438\X0442\X044c \X0442\X0438\X043f \X043d\X043e\X0441\X0438\X0442\X0435\X043b\X044f \X0438\X043d\X0444\X043e\X0440\X043c\X0430\X0446\X0438\X0438: vnd.sun.star.expand:$UNO_USER_PACKAGES_CACHE/uno_packages/lupr77.tmp_/faulty.zip/description.xml", Context = (com.sun.star.uno.XInterface) @61dd54c } }, ArgumentPosition = (short) -1 }
From the attached LOdev/4 user profile, I reconstruct that you once added per-user a "legacy" (i.e., ".zip" instead of ".oxt") extension faulty.zip (as attached) to LO 3. Adding such legacy .zip extensions to LO 4.0 (e.g., calling "unopkg add faulty.zip" command line tool) now fails with a "Cannot detect media-type" error message. That regression is caused by <http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=31170413ae3786bf44564e813d7291354e939a77> "API CHANGE: com.sun.star.lang.IllegalArgumentException."
