Hi, On Windows Vista and later, the VC 9.0 runtime files are installed to the WinSxS cache as global assemblies. In Windows Installer, it is not possible to use global assemblies until the installation transaction has been commited. This means that only commit custom actions or custom actions sequenced to run after InstallFinalize will be able to use global assemblies that are being installed as part of the same MSI.
Possible workarounds: 1) Run RegisterExtensions custom action after InstallFinalize 2) Link VC runtime statically to unopkg.exe and unopkg.bin 3) Install private copy of msvcr90.dll next to unopkg.exe. I chose option 1. http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=b3d63df541ff6b2bf9c77699c8c076ebcde2d6cf The patch works well on Jesus' Windows 2008 Server VM, that he sent me on Friday. I could not reproduce the bug with my VMs, because the bug does not occur on Windows XP, and VMWare installs VC 9.0 runtime with its VMWare Tools. When I realized this, I wanted to manually remove VC 9.0 runtime files form WinSxS, but then came Jesus' VM, I reproduced the bug, and found the fix. Thanks, Jesus.
