Installation failure on first page (before able to choose disk)

I had Libre Office on disk H which no longer exists, but when I try to reinstall it on C it insists on disk H and the installation fails before reaching the page where I could choose which disk I want. I’ve deleted everything I could find in the Registry (Windows 10) and restarted several times, but no difference.

This means that there are probably still entries on drive C.
For me, under Windows 10, there is an entry under:
C:\Program Files\LibreOffice
The user directory is with me under:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\LibreOffice\4

Are you sure that all entries are removed?


You may need to make hidden folders visible.
In Windows there are some hidden files and you need to set Windows to show hidden files. In your file manager enter %AppData% to see the hidden files,


With me:
Version: 7.5.5.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: ca8fe7424262805f223b9a2334bc7181abbcbf5e
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: de-DE
Calc: CL threaded

Please avoid such things. There is a troubleshooting tool designed to fix problems in Windows Installer data - please see FAQ.
