Bug ID: 171523
Summary: LibreOffice doesn’t run on Windows 10 LTSC N
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 26.2.0.3 release
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Upon launch, any application throws an error that MFPlay.DLL is missing. The
DLL belongs to "Microsoft Media Foundation", which isn’t present in the LTSC N
variant and cannot be installed via features.
I checked the system and the mf*.dll files are not present. The corresponding
install.wim has both editions indexed (Regular and N). The reguar edition ships
with mf*.dll. On N they are missing.
The LO installer doesn't warn that these files are missing. Apparently, there
is a "Media Feature Pack for Windows N" download, but it would probably be
advisable to avoid dependancy on MF entirely.
See discussion here:
https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/libreoffice-doesnt-run-on-windows-10-ltsc/132310/2
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have Windows 10 LTSC N without Media Features
2. Launch an LO application (calc in this example).
Actual Results:
Error Message about missing mfplay.dll. Then: exit.
Expected Results:
Launch without Media Features..... ?
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
None.
