I tried java 32 and 64 bits, base doesn't recognize the JRE 1.8.0_60-b27 Unable to run an existing base or to create and use a new one. I also renamed the old user profile, but no way to use bases. I have to reinstall LO4.4.5 :-(( Thanks to the developer teams for help or correction. Best regards Luzius
On Windows 8.1 64-bit en-US with Version: 5.0.0.5 (x64) Build ID: 1b1a90865e348b492231e1c451437d7a15bb262b Locale: en-US (en_US) If you have the 64-bit build of LibreOffice you must install the 64-bit Java JRE. Or if you install the 32-bit build of LibreOffice, you must install the 32-bit Java JRE. The Tools -> Options -> Advanced: Java Options panel with "Use Java runtime environment" check-box must be checked active, and then the appropriate JRE selected with its radio button. If you have multiples--you can identify which as the path Location of the JRE selected will be listed at the bottom of the dialog. I just had to reboot and cycle through available JREs on an upgrade to JRE 1.8.0_60-b27, but with the 64-bit JRE installed and selected--64-bit build of LibreOffice Base and its Java based dialogs are fully functional. So, WFM. Please spend a bit more time with the configuration.
@Luzius : please be more precise in the description of your symptoms. What do you mean by "run" and "use" ? Do you get any error messages ? If so, what ?
There are no blockers, changing priority.
Thank you V Stuart Foote: I uninstalled Java (there was an old version left which may have interfered with the newer version) then reinstalled Java 64. I tried with the LO5 testing version 5.0.1.1 (x64) and Base was able to find the database and executes queries, reports etc as usual. Best Regards, Luzius
