Subject says it.

I uninstalled the old version (3.6.3 I think it was), then installed .Net 4.5.1, and when I tried to install Libreoffice 4.0.4, the installation failed, first got the error 2908, then the 1935.

Hope there is an easy fix, because this is the Boss's computer.

The troubleshooting section at the bottom of:
https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/installation/windows/
describes a solution for error 1935. Error 2908 may also be related to the same problem.

Or may be an error in the registry. Looks like this tool from MS might help:

Other pages indicate adware/virus scanners can cause these kind of errors:

Those links are related to problems installing MS and Adobe software, but the same issue may affect other installers.

Why are you trying to install 4.0.4?

If you must update to the 4.0 branch (is there any reason not to update to
4.1.4???) then you should get 4.0.6 (available from the official download
page) which is the final version for that branch.

Hi :slight_smile:
Errr, i take it you tried reinstalling the 3.6.x? Errrr, did you
shut-down and then switch on again? or at least a reboot?

There is a bug in > 4.0.4 dealing with opening documents on network shares (LibO thinks they are 'in use' when they are not)...

Downgrading to 4.0.4 fixed this problem for us.
