Description Jonas Thiem 2014-08-16 22:39:29 UTC 
Problem description: 
Installer for 4.2.6 fails with LibreOffice 3.4 installed, tells me to terminate it although it is not running. (Windows 7 x86-64)

Steps to reproduce:
1. Have LibreOffice 3.4 installed
2. Run installer for 4.2.6
3. It fails

Current behavior:
The installer requests admin privilegues (UAC) but then stops to claim I would still be running 3.4 which is false. After going through the hassle of a superuser cmd.exe to run it with admin privilegues right from the start, it worked. Obviously, this is nothing that could be expected from a regular user, therefore it should really be fixed.

Expected behavior:
Installer works.

Are you sure that you haven't the quickstarter of 3.4 version running ?

Set status to NEEDINFO. Please set it back to UNCONFIRMED once you have provided requested informations. Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards. JBF
Comment 2 Jonas Thiem 2014-08-18 09:23:26 UTC 
Yes. Also why would having admin rights from the initial execution vs. having it later during actual install make ANY difference in the detection of a running quickstart process? That doesn't sound like it makes any sense.
