Description lal 2014-03-04 18:06:34 UTC
Problem description: 

Steps to reproduce:
1. run installation wizard in windows
2. select option "start LO on system start" (i.e. whwn windows starts, the LO quick launch icon should appear)
3. restart windows

Current behavior:
Even if it is selected when installing, the quicklaunch is disabled when I restart windows (I have to go into settings and tick again, then it works after restarting)

Expected behavior:
LO quick launch should be started with windows

I run the Swedish version, so the exact terminology in English may be different.

It has been mentione din earlier bug, bug has not still been fixed in version 4.1...
              
Operating System: Windows 7
Version: 4.1.5.3 release

Trivial - not really impacting much
High - despite not impacting much, we have an entire option that is front and center yet seems to be completely broken.

Hi Daniel - 
Fantastic! Do you think you're going to need a mentor to help you get started? If so I'll try to find someone :)
Comment 4 Daniel Rutkovský 2014-05-19 19:47:25 UTC
Hi, I have tried to locate the error, but I didn't find the part of code or functions that are called during or after installation. Can somenone point me the right way, please? 

Thanks. Daniel

** Please read this message in its entirety before responding **

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of LibreOffice 
(5.1.6 or 5.2.3  https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the version of LibreOffice and 
your operating system, and any changes you see in the bug behavior

if this never had worked with LO, wouldn't it make sense to remove this option from gui installer?

Comment 11 Richard_416282 2019-11-19 21:19:45 UTC
Upgrade from 6.3.2 using most current installer for 6.3.3.0 (x86) on Windows 7 Home Premium selecting "customize" then "start LO when starting up windows" fails to enable Quickstarter to run

after Reboot still does not enable Quickstarter to run.

Check quickcstarter chckbox under "Tool" | Options | General, look for flag being set, and not set by installation progrm, in User-mode.

So there are two 'profiles' on this Win7 x86 machine. 'admin' and 'user'.

When upgrading from LO 6.3.2 to 6.3.3.0 option is given in installer.

the Option is selected.

But the installer fails to trip the flag for "Start LO on Windows Start" see image.

Need to Manually set the flag, then Re-Boot PC, to re-initialize and re-read registry value for Startup entries. (see picture in JPG

Comment 17 Wouter W. 2023-03-03 19:20:47 UTC
Dear all,

Bug, is stil there in Dutch Windwos ( 10 ? ) version 7.5.1.2.

Extra additional information / wishes . . . 

If the installer detects ( should it ? could it ? ) that the current ( or previous ) version of LibreOffice has enabled this feature the installer should be /could be enabeling this function / feature during setup.

Today I updated my Dutch Windows (10) LibreOffice version 7.5.0.? to 7.5.1.4. by downloading the LibreOffice_7.5.1_Win_x86-64.exe file and running it.

I remember ( do not have a screen shot :(   ) the on a screen it asked :

A) Should I make a desktop shortcut ?   Enabeld

B) Should I start at Windows boot ?  DisAbled

( I don't know the right / exact ( dutch ) words )

Because I want my LibreOffice running all the time, I want it to start right after windows boot / during Windows startup . . . .

I told LibreOffice 7.5.0.? to do so. Even previous versions.

I hoped setup / installer was able to analyze this setting and aplay it ( agian )

But after each, running of a LibreOffice_?.?.?_Win_x86-64.exe file I have to set it myself.

Hopes it helps
Wouter

I'm the only ( administrator ) user on this Windows 10 system.
