For example, it must be well known by now that a 32 bit JRE is needed, so the pop-up should know it's Windows and on a 64 bit box and tell the person what's going on. I'd like to recommend the OpenOffice project firstly, dramatically improve the error messages on this topic. Of course, nothing has worked or I wouldn't be posting now. I even told the handy Java installation handler about the new 1.6 installation and it happily recognizes it. I even found a current bug, number 121955:Īlong the way of trying all the suggested things, I've installed the only 32 bit JRE I could easily find (version 1.6.0_12 - aka "version 6"), and the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package MFC Security Update file msvcr100.dll. This got me to a large handful of web pages, a great number on this very site in this forum, where others have been through this same path since roughly 2011, maybe longer, I didn't have the patience to look at older entries. Please select a different folder.", I figured "it's broken", and did an online search. When it repeatedly, and errantly, kept repeating "The folder you selected does not contain a Java runtime environment. and went through the exact same steps as so many before me. I found my way to the Tools -> Options -> OpenOffice -> Java settings, asked it to Add. I'm a programmer who uses Java and this is on my personal development box, so knowing a full JDK and more than one JRE was already on the box, I double checked, figured something needed an update, and updated OpenOffice from whatever it was to the latest, 4.1.5. Please install JRE and restart OpenOffice." I opened Writer and it responded with a large pop-up that was blank except for the OO logo and in the footer-bar it said "Loading:" and blue squares got about half way across to the right with a centered pop-up titled "JRE Required", and text reading, "OpenOffice requires a Java runtime environment (JRE) to perform this task. Happily using OpenOffice, today I needed to edit a pdf, and decided to use OO to do it. And yes, I brought up Microsoft because the platform is Windows. I've been using computers since before Microsoft even existed, so by now I know how to do my homework.
A problem with this same basic description has cropped up a great many years ago and seems to come back now and then.
