To work around it, go to Microsoft Visual C 2010 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package MFC Security Update.I upgraded OO to 4.1.3 (AOO413m1(Build:9783) - Rev.
Since then anytime I enter to start typing a formula in Calc OO crashes with the following message: OpenOffice requires a Java runtime environment (JRE) to perform this task. Specified Jre Ation Does Not Exist Install A NewPlease select another version or install a new JRE and select it under Tools - Options - OpenOffice - Java. So, 1) I tried to get OO to recognize JRE but OO doesnt see my installed JRE (no version listed under Java runtime environment already installed. I then click on Add to find the path in C under which Java is installed but OO responds with The folder you selected does not contain a JRE. I am POSITIVE that I am pointing to the right folder - I see it in Windows Explorer. I uninstalled Java 8 and reinstalled. Reboots in between. Specified Jre Ation Does Not Exist Update Your SoftwareAnyone knows why OO4.1.3 doesnt see java.exe in the folder I point it to Moral of the story: never update your software - old is good. The question is exactly that: how do I select it in Tools Options OpenOffice Java. I am pointing to C:Program FilesJavajre1.8.0111bin (I also tried pointing to jre1.8.0111 (one up from bin) as your post alludes to - but it doesnt work either and OO says The folder you selected does not contain a JRE. Pls select a different folder If you ran a 32-bit system that would be the right path. On a 64-bit system you would need another Java installation in C:Program Files (x86) where the 32-bit programs (such as OpenOffice) are installed. There is nothing wrong with having as many jre versions as needed to run all your Java software. OpenOffice is not Java software but parts of it may interface with Java components so the bitness is crucial. Both Java updates appeared in the list of installed Java runtime environments in Java Options in AOO 4.1.2. After upgrading to AOO 4.1.3, the option to use a Java Runtime environment became unchecked and neither update appeared in the list. Clicking the Add button and selecting the folder C:Program Files (x86)Java returned the message that The folder you selected does not contain a Java runtime environment. I have never seen this problem before on any previous version of AOO. AOO usually finds the installed 32-bit Java runtime environments within a few seconds after clicking the option to use a Java runtime environment. ![]() It was related to the 3 digits in the minor version number when jre 8101 came out. Any OO developer on this forum to pitch-in I guess my work-around is to downgrade OO (I have some old install files). It is extremely unlikely that the known security flaws have anything to do with the office suite. The security flaws are related to sandboxing in browser applets and network intrusion. I suspect that the bug is in all versions of OpenOffice without coming to the surface because the minor version numbers of Java had 2 digits. Ive submitted a bug report: Issue 127176 - Java not recognized after update to AOO 4.1.3. Systems that dont have the 32-bit version already installed wont be able to find the Java Runtime Environments.
