Description Daniel J McGown 2014-05-10 18:26:52 UTC
The installer (for 4.2.4.2) erased my previous version of LibreOffice (4.1 something, now gone) and then told me that it couldn't finish because I had insufficient permissions and should log back in as the system admin.  It is my personal computer and I am the system admin. So, I tried to go back and install the stable version (4.1.6) and it also failed to install with the same error message. The result is that I now have no LibreOffice at all.

Daniel, since this is windows, could you please restart your machine, re-download the latest fresh release of LO (4.2.4.2) and try to re-install?

Does the issue persist?

Please also try resetting your user profile and let us know if that helps: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile

Should this be still reproducible for you with the latest LO release please set this bug back to UNCONFIRMED. Should this issue be solved set it to WORKSFORME.

Setting to NEEDINFO until more detail is provided.
