reassign this lost bug to LibreOffice
Comment 2 Julien Nabet 2014-06-04 20:16:25 UTC
Which Windows version do you have (XP, Vista, Seven, 8) ?
Have you got administrator rights on your Windows? More simply, did you install LibreOffice or is this someone else who installed it?

If you installed first time, may I suggest you this raw method:
- uninstall completely LibreOffice, Apache OpenOffice, old OpenOffice versions, etc.
- remove any remnants directories (in c:\program files for example)
- rename (or remove if you don't want keep some specific customization) your LO directory profile (see this)
- clean your Windows registry with a free tool like Ccleaner (beware to uncheck all unwanted options when you install it, eg Chrome or McAffee stuff)
- reboot
- download last official LO version (see http://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/)
- install

this is not the first time installing libre office, I used it before on my  
machine and when tech support from aol (America online) got finished with 
my  computer LibreOffice was no longer available and I can no longer install  
it.  I am using a desktop with windows 7 starter I have removed all  
existences of libre office but still get an error message indicating error in  the 
registry which I can't rename, change or delete

Richard: please don't answer directly from your emailer but from this link:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79608#

You indicated you removed completely LO, did you launch a Windows registry cleaner?
Moreover, reading your story with AOL, I wonder if your system is ok. Would you have another machine with no suspect behaviour to give it a try?
Indeed, it's not normal you can't remove a register key (except if you're not admin of your pc).
