Libre 3.5 Install/run fails - win7 home

[Caspin76]

Tried several times to install from different servers.
The install runs ok, but starting up Libre I get “fatal error from context ‘shared’”.
Uninstall op done each time before new install is run.
OOo was installed & ok, but also uninstalled prior.
Can anyone please advise?

Solved! Searching thru forums, found a fix for Win 7.
Show all hidden files & folders.
Locate the LibreOffice folder. Open it.
Right click the file within.
Select ‘Delete’ from Menu.
Confirm delete.
Restart LO 3 & it should start ok.

Worked for me!

Windows installer fails

I tried installing libreoffice using the windows installer. There are two files I had to download. I ran into trouble with the first, which is for the program. At a certain point a window pops up telling me to first exit libreoffice. but, of course, I can’t do that because I haven’t yet installed it. My only options at that point is to click Ok and then the installer terminates without doing the installation. What is wrong?
