Created attachment 68721 [details] Log file for dictionary installation On Windows Home Premium 64bit OS installed clean 3.6.2.2 the tried to install a medical dictionary. It was an OTX file and extension manager shows it as installed but it does not show in the list of user defined dictionaries. Per notes on similar problems restarted LO twice to make sure changes took but it was still not available. Another user installed on a Win XP Pro OS and the dictionary package installed and worked. I went to another machine and did a clean install tell LO not to install anything but the English dictionary as the forum reported that having a lot of unused dictionaries might be part of the problem. I checked after installation and found that the Slovenian dictionary was installed as well even though it was not selected during my install process. I verified that this also occurred on the original machine and noted the extension manager does not show it as installed so I can't remove it. I installed the medical dictionary again and once more extension manager said it had installed. As a check I also installed another user dictionary of chemical names and extension manager shows it installed as well. After closing and reopening LO twice I opened a text document but neither the medical or chemical dictionaries is visible. The log file (attached) shows an illegal argument error. Searching on that I found that occurs occasionally when Java 7 is installed. I removed 7 and reinstalled Java 6 then tried again with no change in the results. I'm officially out of ideas. Nothing I do seems to make this work and none of the work around ideas shown in the forums helped at all. I have used this dictionary in the past without issue on Windows 2000 machines used by a transcriptionist and the user who verified it worked on his XP machine tell me there's nothing wrong with the OTX files.
"en-us-openmedspel.oxt" is not a "user-defined dictionary", but a dictionary extension. Therefore it is not shown in menu 'Tools → Options → Language Settings → Writing Aids → User-defined dictionaries', but only in 'Tools → Extension Manager'. The dictionary extension works fine for me with LibO 3.6.2.2 on Win XP 32b.

I am inclined to think: RESOLVED INVALID.
