I can confirm that with LO 4.0.5.2 (Win7 32bit), PPV 14 also can't open that file.

I am not sure what all this means. Is it a corrupted file. Do I need to redo the presentation?
Regards, 
Ronan

** Please read this message in its entirety before responding **

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

   *Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of LibreOffice (4.4.1 or later)
   https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

   *If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the version of LibreOffice and your operating system, and any changes you see in the bug behavior
 
   *If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a short comment that includes your version of LibreOffice and Operating System

Please DO NOT

   *Update the version field
   *Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
   *Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 

1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3)

http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug 
3. Leave a comment with your results. 
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to "inherited from OOo"; 
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add "regression" to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=libreoffice-qa

Thank you for your help!

In order for this one to be a valid bug, it must be clear whether:
- this is FILESAVE bug, in which case you need to attach your source ODP (same presentation saved in ODP first) OR
- this is FILEOPEN bug - but this PPTX can't be open with free Microsoft Viewer, so it seems definitely corrupted.

Good practice is to make documents in ODF and that save as Microsoft OXML, if needed.
Comment 8 Timur 2015-05-25 15:05:39 UTC
And please if you reply, do not keep the message text, or better, reply via web.
Comment 9 Michael 2015-05-25 16:11:41 UTC
Possibly related to https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91611 because it's the same "General Error. General input/output error." message
