What is the audience of this program? Everyone, who wants to perform a parallel installation of LibreOffice without using the command line. The aim was to give You the total control of what will be done, but it should be intuitive from the first time you use this program. Also downloading the latest LibreOffice build should be as easy and with least possible number of clicks. Also it should be a tool for the QA – Team of LibreOffice to have an easy and quick access to all the versions available. – Florian Reisinger

Hello Florian
Apart from being useful, LibreOffice Server Install GUI lacks 2 features:
1. currently it uses proxy settings from the system, which prevents updates if there is a proxy set (such as TMG), so it should either use integrated authentication, manually entered credentials or set proxy option in order to specify direct link
2. currently, parallel installations don’t register filetypes and don’t add to “open with..”, but there should be an option “set as default program” which should register all filetypes (maybe separately for ODF and MS or even all in one) so that we can use one of those parallel installations as a main office program
I have to admit I do not really know anything about proxies, but the proxy-settings of the system (IE) should be the used ones by default….
I have to ask a LibO Win expert here, but I think all those parameters are ignored…. Of course you may create a .reg file with all the registry entries or do that manually ONCE and overwrite the existing installation….
Parallel installations are more extracting than installing….
1. Yes, proxy-settings of the system (IE) are used by default but this should be made optional, as I explained.
2. Current installation probably sets WRITE_REGISTRY=0 and REGISTER_ALL_MSO_TYPES=0 like LibO-Dev, whuch is fine, but there should be 2 options to change this
Thank You Very Much!
Hey,
sehr schönes GUI und auch noch die passende Anleitung dazu!
Leider kann ich in dieser Konfiguration nur als Admin darauf zugreifen.. Melde ich mich mit einem anderen User gleichzeitg an, bekomme ich die Meldung, dass bereits eine Sitzung LibreOffice läuft.
Hab ich etwas falsch gemacht? Oder muss ich die Verknüpfung bei allen Usern installieren?
Windows Server 2012, Clients greifen per RDP auf den Server zu
Server installation ist hier wohl das falsche Wort gewesen… Dieses Tool ist dazu da mehrere LibreOffice Versionen auf einem Computer zu installieren. Sprich: nach der Konfiguration kam LibO auf einen anderen Computer kopiert werden (vorausgesetzt die MS C++ REDISTRIBUTABLES sind in korrekter Version vorhanden)
Es tut mir leid, dass das Tool ihre Erwartungen nie erfüllen können , aber leider ist es schwer auch den blödesten Namen zu andern…
I have some requests. Can you please:
1. Change installation method for LO 3.3 and 3.4 because they are .exe and need to be extracted first, so that they can be directly installed with this tool?
2. Split “Create Shortcut” into two: “Shortcut on Desktop” and “Shortcut in Installation Directory” (all shortcuts in one directory, not in subfolders)?
For (1)
Click GO! and select the MSI file there. As they are depricated, I won’t be updating this 🙂
Please consider (2) to split “Create Shortcut” into two: “Shortcut on Desktop” and “Shortcut in Installation Directory”.
Thanks for adding 64 bit version
Hello,
It’s not working for me.. I tried installing Libre Office 4.2.5 Win x86.msi in parallel but I get “Erreur interne 2203” (Windows alert). What should I do please? E-mail: theo.ask@gmail.com
Have you tried to install LibreOffice before? LibreOffice needs it’s C++ redistribute able a installed. They are from MS’s compiler
Master is not available. If it’s Win-x86@39/ it’s frequently empty.
Please add multiple masters, for example: Win-x86@62-merge-TDF/ and Win-x86_64@62-TDF/ . They look the most reliable to me.
Regards
Hi,
Downloads are fetched from this file: http://pastebin.com/9PR3berc
Update will be live in the next minutes. Press “update” to get the new download options.
Hi. Please add back also Win-x86@39 in addition to the current @62-merge-TDF. Now, Win-x86@39 is current and @62-merge-TDF are not. So, it’s best to have them all. Thank you.
Done
Masters @39 and @62 are not available again, so no x86.
Please add all available in both architectures.
No, we need a place where everyone can add it. Either an etherpad or committed in the repo. This is a far more flexible solution.
So please, can we have a discussion (as nothing happend when I raised it last time)
I didn’t notice. What do you mean by discussion? To have volunteers to update? Etherpad, you mean it’s not pastebin.com? If so, I can be one of those.
To have a place where “everyone” can update this…
Currently it’s on pastebin, but it is using tdf.io links –> can be changed. Either GIT / GITHUB or Etherpad…. (I slightly prefer GITHUB although it is not under TDF’s control…)
This is an old issue of dowload URLs. IIUC, they cannot be changed within SI-GUI. Is the list fetched from internet? There was an idea to keep it open, is it so? I see that Pastebin mentioned here is old, where are the current URLs? This progam is so nice, I’d like to add more URL’s that I use (to extract Collabora Office snapshot – and it has branches). Thanks!
https://github.com/reisi007/SI-GUI/tree/gh-pages
You can add URLs, however, version extraction rules are hard coded
Folgender Fehler tritt bei der Version 5.0.0.4 auf : Interner Fehler 2203, c:\Program Files(x86)\LibreOffice_5.2.3_Win_x86.msi, -2147287035
Win 8.1 64Bit-Version – Programm ausgeführt als Admin.
Hello Florlan,
This SI-GUI Install program needs Microsoft .NET installed for the program to work. I don’t want .NET installed to my system. Is there a version of SI-GUI that does not require .NET to be installed? If not I think it would be a great idea to produce one.
According to the instructions here: http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/si-gui/help/en.html They say that once the install of LO is completed then LO can be launched by double-clicking on “soffice.exe”. Is this a strict requirement? Is launching LO via “swriter.exe” also possible? If I do that will the LO installed via SI-GUI then be using the wrong settings? In effect, will the location of the settings files, set in “bootstrap.ini”, be ignored if one launches “swriter.exe” directly?
Hi,
There is also a prototype available in Java: https://github.com/reisi007/Java-SI-GUI/releases
You can use the other starters (scalc.exe) and so on as well… LibreOffice always looks in the “bootstrap.ini” file for finding the place where to load the settings…
Today I cannot see 5.2.5.2 here, although it was released. Is this some error?
The list contains only “old” versions ( http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ )
Also when using “LibreOffice Fresh” I only see “5.2.4”. The reason for this bug is the following: http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/
There should only be 2 stable versions…. Or I expect 2. So the ones you can download are 5.1.6 and 5.2.4.
I don’t know how to tackle this on my side as there should only be 2 stable versions of LibreOffice out zjere at the same time. Help appriciated…. (On “what would be the best way to deal with it”)
My mistake, there was no 5.2.5.2, 5.2.5.1 was released as 5.2.5.
As for “fresh” and “stable” we may just wait until it fixes itself in order to have only 2 stable versions, I have no idea why it’s so. Or you may change parsing to have the most recent there as “fresh” and second one as “stable”.
Hi. Tried to get master, says “Count cannot be less than zero” and quit. Please check.
BTW, Issue tracker link on the beginning is not valid anymore for LO on freedesktop.org.
This should be fixed now with 5.0.0.5. Where is “at the beginning”?
Issue tracker link on the beginning of this page, before Source and Ohloh.
Changed again. Now for master “Illegal characters in path”.
I really love how they change the website….. Fixed, uploading in the next few minutes,.,,
On update I see error “Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel”.
Error: An error occurred trying to download ‘http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/si-gui/LibreOffice%20Separate%20Install%20GUI.application’.
Cannot reproduce this… Just installed (didn’t have it installed) and also on a forced update nothing.
Pls check if it works now, otherwise please uninstall and use the url provided to reinstall….
Uninstall is not a good idea, cannot reinstall and I don’t have it now.
This is the and of install log:
Launching Application.
URLDownloadToCacheFile failed with HRESULT ‘-2146697202’
Error: An error occurred trying to download ‘http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/si-gui/LibreOffice%20Separate%20Install%20GUI.application’.
I have the same error and cannot install 5.0.0.7 on the same computer where I got this error before.
Can you try the EXE from this URL: http://tdf.io/siguiexe
What I change only affects the behavior after download, not before. Thank you!
http://tdf.io/siguiexe is what I use when I have error.
When I try virtual machine on the same computer, it works.
Is there some place where I can delete settings or cache from previous application?
Please make sure you uninstall the application.
Temporary files can be found in the app data, I will answer with a path in a few Minuten minutes
Navigate to %appdata%, go a folder level up, then local then reisishot.
C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Reisisoft
I renamed the directory multiple times, so please delete the whole Reisisoft folder. However this should not block installation!
I uninstalled before and it’s not in Control Panel-Programs.
I removed the \Reisisoft settings folder. But still the same error trying to download.
I overcome this by copying appref-ms (Si-gui desktop icon) from a working computer.
So Setup.EXE doesn’t work for me.
Maybe the exception text can help you:

I just checked https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/ . Could you open it in Internet explorer. The website uses a let’s encrypt certificate. I guess your operating system does not trust this CA.
Note: Some apps like Google chrome have their own set of trusted CAs. Please also try to update Windows and the .NET framework.
I tested the URL with IE and it works.
I imported the let’s encrypt root certificate and Intermediate certificates into the windows certificate store but this does not make any difference.
Can I provide you with more information to fix this?
Did you try to uninstall the program and reinstall it?
Which operating system?
Which .Net version
Yes, I tried to uninstall and reinstall it. No change.
I use Win 7 Pro x64 SP1
I have multiple .Net Versions installed:
2.0.50727.5420
3.0.30729.5420
3.5.30729.5420
4.7.02558
4.7.1
When I get the exception the following mscorlib is used:
mscorlib
Assembly-Version: 4.0.0.0.
Win32-Version: 4.7.2558.0 built by: NET471REL1.
CodeBase: file:///C:/Windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v4.0.30319/mscorlib.dll.
Does this help?
Something is really fishy…
It tried to get my head around this problem but I have to say that the last time I used c# was a decade ago. So please check my finding thoroughly.
In MainUI.cs function “private void update_changingVersions()” I added at the beginning:
“ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12;”
Then the download worked. I don’t know why this must be added.
The connection could not be established to reisi007.github.io
ssllabs shows that only TLS 1.2 is supported:
https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=reisi007.github.io&s=151.101.53.147
Hope this helps you finding the Problem.
Version 5.0.0.7 is out which fixes this bug. Thanks for downloading the source, I was thinking of the wrong download. This was also reproduce able for me and should now be resolved. Thanks for investing your time.
For exception “hunting” you could consider including a exception reporter like:
https://github.com/PandaWood/ExceptionReporter.NET
This add-on does not send the information automatic. It let the user choose to send you an email.
There are no plans to continue active development of SI-GUI for over 2 years now as the possibility to update daily builds (especially 2 years later) is so close. But I will definitely look into it for further C# projects
I see “5.0.0.8: Updated proxy fetching the proxy”.
But now I receive an error “proxy authentication required”. Looks like integrated authentication is not correct. It’s Windows 7 client with TMG proxy where IE in LAN settings “automatically detects setting”.
Solution could be to add proxy option to SI-GUI (system proxy/no proxy) to avoid using proxy.
Looks like
proxy-settings of the system (IE) are used by default but this should be made optional, as I explained.
2 question:
Is there a way to safely set a free online proxy? – I am not usually use it.
Was it better before?
I don’t use online proxies, I have proxy at work, TMG integrated with Windows logon.
Before, I was able to use SI-GUI because proxy use is not mandatory and ports are not blocked, program can go directly to internet if set so.
Now, it uses IE’s “automatically detects setting” that means proxy use. So, it really may be better sensing the proxy.
But I would like to see an option to use IE/system proxy ort not to use it and go directly.
For local testing, there’s “FreeProxy” http://www.handcraftedsoftware.org/index.php?page=download
I don’t know whether it’s reverted or improved, but it’s OK in 5.0.0.9
It’s reverted. For improving I must reproduce the behavior. I asked for tips on reproducing this on the German mailing list
I don’t know if there’s a new issue or it’s a temporary issue, but I couldn’t install successfully LO master today 06.12.2019. from Win-x86_64@tb77-TDF/.
When I finish “installation” and run LO, I get “The procedure entry point … could not be located in the dynamic link library … \program\mergedlo.dll.”
Same MSI installs and runs fine if I run classic installation.
All was fine with same server from 29.11.2019.
I just deleted extracted folder and installation is OK again. This is the first time deletion of user folder wasn’t enough, but entire LO folder had to be deleted.
Hi Timur,
I hope it is a temporary issue. If it occurs again I will take a closer look
Download Problem of zero size help files for 64bit since Version 7.5.x.
New name scheme of help-files I see here.
I will look into it
Hello Florian,
7.4:
LibreOffice_7.4.5.1_Win_x64.msi
LibreOffice_7.4.5.1_Win_x64_helppack_de.msi
new Name system for x64 with 7.5 for more x64 architectures.
Name in GUI
LibreOffice_7.5.2.2_Win_x86-64.msi
LibreOffice_7.5.2.2_Win_x86_helppack_de-64.msi
Name by Libreoffice.com
LibreOffice_7.5.2.2_Win_x86-64_helppack_de.msi
so there is a change since 7.5.
GUI makes here a false name.
greetings
Stefan Pauly
I have a problem uploading the update to the server….
I go around the bug with helppack with direct download from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/latest/win/x86_64/
or other versions.
After this, relinking of non-zero helppack file in the very good tool from Reisisoft.
Can you please add a possibility to apply OXT to the extracted folder? That is “unopkg add –shared –force path\extension.oxt”. That would be after the shortcut part. Reason is the use of same extensions in all versions and also if the whole folder is deleted and extracted again. Would be great if path could stay remembered.
I use it mostly for personal extension I created per https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/8/81/LibreOffice_config_extension_writing.odt. And it should be applied before the 1st run. Much more convenient via the same tool that going to command line and looking for it.
SI-GUI, setup.exe : trojan found by VirusTotal : what to think about ?
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/d63055298ac9f0f56f752699b65c91efcad5fe3ec97a2a5f9ba5430ff1db9731
I cannot tell if this is true or not as I have no access to the server anymore…. I would say unlikely if it is still my binary as no external libs are used and the program is coded using c# and .Net runtime (which is a separate installation). So this should be just some C# classes.
Please note, I am not able to access the server where the code is hosted and I am unable to perform any changes
