LibreOffice's installation directory changes with updated versions of the product, for eg from "C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice 4.0" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice 4" etc. This makes it very troublesome when configuring security programs like Microsoft's EMET (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2458544) to protect applications like LibreOffice from common exploit techniques. When manually adding applications via the UI to protect in EMET, the full directory of the application is added. If an application is updated at a later stage and the directory structure is changed (like LibreOffice does), it will no longer be protected. General computer users (such as those i support) loose the protection benefits of EMET for LibreOffice with each update of LibreOffice. Unless there is some reason benefit i am overlooking or am not aware of to keep changing the directory structure, please standardize LibreOffice's directory structure between versions. This would make using programs like EMET (or even scripting) much easier. Is there any reason not to just use "C:\Program Files\LibreOffice"??? Operating System: All Version: 4.2.1.1 release
