Openoffice general access error

Post by spiderlady56 » Tue Jul 22, 2014 10:21 pm

When I turned on my computer this morning, the OpenOffice (which is set to automatically launch) did not launch and I received a message that reads:

«OpenOffice 4.1.0 Fatal Error
The application cannot be started.
A general error occured while accessing your central configuration.»

I figured it was just hanging up somewhere so I rebooted the computer and then got the same error message. I have since uninstalled and re-installed my OpenOffice, but I keep getting this darned error message! Help!! I really need to access my documents and the message is all I get.

You rename a folder the same way as you rename a file. Go to the folder above the folder you wish to rename — for example, take the chain
c:TomDickHarry
Suppose you want to rename folder Harry.
Click on the C: drive and select menu item View : icons
You will see pictures of folders

. Tom .
Double click on folder Tom and you get a similar picture

. Dick .
Double click on folder Dick and you get a similar picture

. Harry .
Now, you right click on folder Harry and select Rename.

I’m fairly certain that I was able to do as you suggested. I tried to launch my OpenOffice, but I got the original error message that started this whole thing. I then went back to the folder location and there was a new folder titled «user»!! Within this folder are other folders titled «>extensions>bundled>registry». Is this supposed to happen?

I’m feeling more and more lost all the time! The original file that I renamed has all these same items in it but a separate folder has different folders inside it like autotext/backup/basic/config/etc. Am I in the wrong area??

Openoffice general access error

Post by hmunn » Tue Aug 17, 2010 11:19 pm

I have just installed OOo 3.3.0 and it worked fine. After I shut down my computer and restarted, I now receive the following error message: «The application cannot be started. A general error occurred while accessing your central configuration.»
I have tried uninstalling and downloading and re-installing, but I still get the same error message.

Any ideas what is going on?

I uninstalled using Add-Remove programs as before, but this time I manually deleted all file folders in /Application Data and /Program files named OOo-dev. 3.3.0 Beta now installed properly.

Yes, knew it was in Beta. But it’s hard to test if it won’t open! I liked what I saw before this error message started.
No, I didn’t uninstall the previous version, which was 3.2, because I still need to use it in case 3.3 doesn’t work.
Is there some way to continue to use 3.2 while testing 3.3?

Yes, I can still use 3.2.1. My query about uninstalling was my response to thomasjk’s question about whether I had uninstalled the previous version. I don’t want to have to uninstall the previous version in order to test 3.3.0.

I’m still in the dark about what «accessing your central configuration» means or what I can do to get 3.3 running again.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I’ve never seen this error message.
You have customized 3.3 beta?
You have added an extension?
You have modified the default user profile (. OOo-dev/3/user. )?

If yes, please go into detail.

You might try:
(1) close OOo (if active + quickstarter), and rename registrymodifications.xcu [in the folder user] to registrymodifications.xcu.old. Restart OOo.

(2) close OOo (if active + quickstarter), and rename the folder user to user_old. Restart OOo.

But I’m uncertain whether that will succeed .

acknak, thanks for the link.
Looks interesting.

But at first glance: it’s all Greek to me.
I’ll write a request for an one-week-vacation.
And then I’ll read this entire app.cxx.

I think, there’s a lack of information by «hmunn» for finding the cause of the error message—and the issue is resolved.

I have a similar issue with OOo 3.3 beta 1 on Windows 7 Pro Russian. I have installed it and everything seemed fine until I updated one of my extensions (it’s a spell check extension for Belarusian actually). I updated the extension both for OOo 3.2.1 and 3.3 b1, with 3.2.1 everything was fine, but 3.3 b1 after closing refused to start again issuing the above error message. OK, I deleted all personal data for 3.3 b1 and copied them from 3.2.1. Then 3.3 started without problem. I gave another try and updated the extension once more. Again, updating resulted in inability to restart OOo and the above error message.

I guess, it’s a bit premature to close the issue.

Only a first info:
(. because I had similar issues with e.g. AltSearch.oxt since DEV300_m76 –
«The application cannot be started. The user interface language cannot be determined.»)

I tried a test with TemplateChanger (OOo 3.2.1 and OOO330_m5)
[due to Issue 114091]

My steps:
(1) reset the user profile of OOo 3.2.1 to default, add the extension TemplateChanger 1.2.3,
restart OOo 3.2.1 and close it
(2) rename the user profile of OOO330_m5
(3) copy the user profile of OOo 3.2.1, add it as the user profile of OOO330_m5

(4) start OOO330_m5, open the Extension Manager, check for updates

(6) restart OOO330_m5

No error message .

You might update 3.3.0 Beta 1 (OOO330m3) with OOO330_m5, and try again.
[see also: Release Notes for all OpenOffice.org builds → Release codeline OOO330 (OOo 3.3.0)]

EDIT: [2010-08-25]
The same result with a second test.
This time I’ve filled the template folder with some templates.
. applied TemplateChanger 1.2.3 to a document in OOo 3.2.1.
. pasted the user folder of OOo 3.2.1 in OOO330_m5.
. applied TemplateChanger 1.2.3 to a document in OOO330_m5.
. checked for updates.

No errors during update and restart.
TemplateChanger 1.2.5 works well in OOO330_m5.
[I’ve no longer installed 3.3.0 Beta 1.]

Openoffice general access error

Post by White Phoenix » Fri Oct 28, 2016 11:05 pm

I install AOO 4.1.3 on Linux and Windows 7. Everything seemed okay, but the Windows version complained about the Java not being right. However, it closed before I could go into Tools and fixed it and refuses to open. I even re-installed and disabled the user profile. It still gives the following message:

A general error occurred while accessing your central configuration.

This gives me no clue as to what it wants, and for a while I thought I had been tricked into downloading a fake, but no there really is a 4.1.3 and I did go to the official download site. So what is the “central configuration” that is being referred to?

UPDATE: I just tried to access the LibreOffice that is installed on my Windows 7. It is giving the same error message. Fortunately, whatever is wrong only affects Windows, not Linux.

So it’s a bug. I just figured AOO needed to be pointed to the correct file which is why I wasn’t looking for that fix. It didn’t seem to be a real problem.

So, I will replace the 64 bit DLL file with the 32 bit version and see what happens. Thank you for pointing out that the Java problem was more serious than I thought.

Yes, that was the problem with AOO not wanting to run also. I had to replace the bad file in the program subfolder though. There were a lot of 32 bit MSVCR100.DLL files throughout my system. So I guessed that AOO had to have it in its folder. LibreOffice still doesn’t work, but I will get around to that eventually. maybe.

Thanks I will check, although of all the places msvcr100 was, I don’t recall it being in SysWOW64. So naturally if it isn’t there, it cannot be found there. I have the file backed up in my Archives folder in any case.

I am in the Windows side of my system now. Um. Wouldn’t a 32 bit DLL file be in System32 instead of SysWOW64?

I think you have that backwards, right? The 64 bit DLL would be in WOW64 and the 32 bit DLL would be in System32. The other way around doesn’t make sense.

True, I have a 64 bit system, but AOO is a 32 bit program. So it everything about it is treated as if you are using a 32 bit system. That is why the 64 bit DLL in its program folder is causing the problems. As you pointed out the program would look in its own program folder first for any DLL files it needs.

Just putting the 32 bit DLL file in WOW64 would be wrong for three reasons. First, AOO would look in its program folder and find the 64 bit version and fail. Second, 32 bit files do not go in WOW64, but in System32. Third, other programs may be using the 64 bit version, so if you replace it with the 32 bit version, that is going to cause a problem.

If the 64 bit DLL file is deleted from the 64 program file AOO should then look in System32. If it isn’t there, it might look in WOW64, but that would not make sense for a 32 bit program to look for a 32 DLL file there.

But if you are going to delete the 64 bit version from the AOO program file, why not just put the 32 bit version (which would have been installed there by AOO anyway) in the program folder? So that is what I did.

No, actually, he doesn’t have it backwards. 64-bit DLLs would be in System32 and 32-bit DLLs would be in SysWOW64. «WOW64» stands for «Windows-on-Windows 64» and it’s the component that allows 32-bit programs to run on a 64-bit system, so the things in this folder are for 32-bit programs despite the name.

Microsoft has published Information online about the use of System32 for 64-bit and SysWOW64 for 32-bit in 64-bit Windows. A Google search including the two terms should clear up any misconception.
