Error 1325.Libreoffice is not a valid short file name

Been trying to reinstall LibreOffice for a few days now.
Have tried multiple versions, new user with administrator privileges, reg clean with Ccleaner, moved and reset documents, pictures, video folders.
I am not totally naive when it comes to computers but this one has me stumped.
If I have done this right there should be a pic below.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This isn’t listed as in the error codes shown in General Installation Issues (Windows) however apparently it means the installer cannot write to the folder.
Disabling your antivirus during installation might solve the issue. Cheers, Al

Try using the troubleshooter from MS.

Just tried that, doesn’t seem to help, even tried to uninstall earlier version.
It was on a hard drive that died but there is obviously something still left.
The tool just goes through the “Attempting to resolve problems” for ages.

EDIT: Ok left the tool running while I cooked dinner, came back and it said problem fixed.
And it is!!
Thanks for the help guys, been pulling my hair out on this and I have little enough as it is. :slight_smile:
