Libre Office 4.4.1.2 install error "Files in Use"

Hi,

I have tried to install Libre Office 4.4.1.2 Win x 86 (English Version)
several times now. When installing it tells me:

"Files in Use. Some files that need to be updated are currently in use. The
following applications are using files that need to be updated by this
setup. Close these applications and click Retry to continue.

Libre Office Process ID 6884 and Libre Office Writer ID 6760"

I can't find these applications on my whole C drive. Please instruct me
what to do.

Kind regards,

Sabine

Hi :slight_smile:
Have you already got either LibreOffice or OpenOffice already installed on
your machine? Perhaps a previous version?

If so then they might have the "Quick Starter" open in the system-tray.

This indicates clearly that you try to install LibreOffice over an
already running LibreOffice. You need to shut down any instance of
LibreOffice.
After you closed all office windows, there may be an icon near the
clock. Right-click that thingy and choose to exit.

Alternatively, hit Ctrl+Shift+Delete, choose the "Process Manager" and
stop all running processes with "soffice" in the name.
