"network error" message

I downloaded and installed 3.6.0 release XPI on top of previously installed 3.5.5 release. Seemed OK, installer finished without error. However, my first start of the new version was through "opening" a ODT file from Windows Explorer.

I renamed the installer (to add ".4" to the version and archived it.

Later I recognized that the german spelling is missing (was there in 3.5.5). So I (re)started the (renamed) installer, chose "Repair" and got the attached error message. Renaming the file to its original name shown in the error message resolved the issue.

Renaming the installer should have no influence on its functioning, i.e. it's name should not be hardcoded in it.

I do not think that this is a LibO Bug. Repair needs the original xxx.msi at it's place where it was when you did installation. If you remove or rename the .msi The WIN System has no base for Repair or install additional features or whatever. So INVALID for now.

OK, sorry, there seems to be a difference between EXE Setup and MSI Setup files.

> there seems to be a difference between EXE Setup and MSI Setup

Yes, so it is. setup.exe will unpack lots of contents (you always have been asked to where that should be unpacked) remaining after installation, an for those unpacked contents you have the same rule as for the xxx.msi, you may not rename or move that installation contents.
