When attempting to use BASE to create a new database with 64-bit Libreoffice 5.0.1.2 an error message appears: "LibreOffice requires a Java runtime environment (JRE) to perform this task. The selected JRE is defective." Happens on both Windows 7 pro and Windows 8.1 Tried both 32 bit and 64 bit Java JRE 8 version 60 - neither works. However, the previous 32 bit and 64 bit versions of libreoffice 5.0.0.5 BASE work OK with 32 bit and 64 bit Java, respectively.
Cannot reproduce, with LO 5.0.1.2 (x64) and JRE 80 version 60. What might help is to load soffice.exe in Dependency Walker, then "Profile - Start Profiling...", make sure "Use full paths when logging file names" and "Automatically open and profile child processes" are both enabled, "OK", then reproduce the problem in LO and in the "Dependency Walker - [SOFFICE.BIN]" window check the log area for errors while trying to instantiate the JVM. (Copy the log area content and attach it here.)
Set to NEEDINFO. Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided the information.
WFM with Libreoffice 5132 Winx64 Java JRE 1.8.0_91 64bit Used the database wizard to set up an embedded hsqldb database, create a table from the default Personal table list and populate that table with data.
