Description Tahir Nazir 2015-09-23 10:26:56 UTC 
With the following code:

static void Main()
{
    try
    {
        var context = uno.util.Bootstrap.bootstrap();
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
       Console.WriteLine(ex.toString());
    }
}

I can start Writer of LibreOffice. This works fine with Version 4.4.4 but after installing version 5 and with new SDK, Bootstrap.bootstrap() throws the exception:

"External component has thrown an exception"

Has anyone faced the same problem or some solution? (.NET 4.0, Windows 7 64-bit, LibreOffice 5.0 Lite)

Stack Trace 
System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException (0x80004005): Eine externe Komponente hat eine Ausnahme ausgelöst.
   bei cppu.bootstrap(Reference<com::sun::star::uno::XComponentContext>* )
   bei uno.util.Bootstrap.bootstrap()

I have tried to set UNO_PATH to LibreOffice 5 folder but still it won't work.

Can confirm this bug also -- these problems with .NET are really a product add-on stopper. 

Even with 5.0.2.2 it is not working - this happens with all new versions (4.x in the beginning had also these problems).

Here I have Windows 8.1 (64 Bit) with .NET 4.x ... the latest version working here is 4.4.5

'Version' field should indicate the earliest affected release.
Comment 5 Stefano Fraccaro 2016-01-09 10:33:14 UTC 
Seems a duplicate bug of 
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org//show_bug.cgi?id=94265

Right?
Comment 6 APS 2016-01-13 14:54:05 UTC 
I can confirm that the bug is present on version Fresh 5.0.4.2 Fresh and that this is a duplicate of https://bugs.documentfoundation.org//show_bug.cgi?id=94265

I've found a workaround adding C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice 5\program to PATH environment variable or by setting it via code in this way

Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("PATH", Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("PATH") + @";" + unoPath, EnvironmentVariableTarget.Process);


Ref: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31856025/bootstrap-uno-api-libreoffice-exception

P.S.: UNO_PATH variable seems useless.
