Bootstrap Uno API LibreOffice exception

问题

With the following code:

static void Main()
{
    try
    {
        var context = uno.util.Bootstrap.bootstrap();
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
       Console.WriteLine(ex.toString());
    }
}

I can start Writer of LibreOffice. This works fine with Version 4.4.4 but after installing version 5.0.0 and with new SDK Bootstrap.bootstrap() throws the exception:

"External component has thrown an exception"

Has anyone faced the same problem or some solution? (.NET 4.0, Windows 7 64-bit, LibreOffice 5.0 Lite)

回答1:

I have managed to solve the problem by setting the UNO_PATH environment variable before starting the soffice.exe server:

using static System.Environment;

var unoPath = @"C:\Program Files\LibreOffice 5\program"
// when running 32-bit LibreOffice on a 64-bit system, the path will be in Program Files (x86)
// var unoPath = @"C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice 5\program"

SetEnvironmentVariable("UNO_PATH", unoPath, EnvironmentVariableTarget.Process);
SetEnvironmentVariable("PATH", GetEnvironmentVariable("PATH") + @";" + unoPath, EnvironmentVariableTarget.Process);

This was required because LibreOffice 5's program directory does not have "URE" subdirectory anymore (previous versions did) which is required for UNO layer.

To get the path to the LibreOffice installation you can ask e.g. the Windows registry. In C# this is smoething like that:

    String unoPath = "";
    // access 32bit registry entry for latest LibreOffice for Current User
    Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey hkcuView32 = Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.OpenBaseKey(Microsoft.Win32.RegistryHive.CurrentUser, Microsoft.Win32.RegistryView.Registry32);
    Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey hkcuUnoInstallPathKey = hkcuView32.OpenSubKey(@"SOFTWARE\LibreOffice\UNO\InstallPath", false);
    if (hkcuUnoInstallPathKey != null && hkcuUnoInstallPathKey.ValueCount > 0)
    {
        unoPath = (string)hkcuUnoInstallPathKey.GetValue(hkcuUnoInstallPathKey.GetValueNames()[hkcuUnoInstallPathKey.ValueCount - 1]);
    }
    else
    {
        // access 32bit registry entry for latest LibreOffice for Local Machine (All Users)
        Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey hklmView32 = Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.OpenBaseKey(Microsoft.Win32.RegistryHive.LocalMachine, Microsoft.Win32.RegistryView.Registry32);
        Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey hklmUnoInstallPathKey = hklmView32.OpenSubKey(@"SOFTWARE\LibreOffice\UNO\InstallPath", false);
        if (hklmUnoInstallPathKey != null && hklmUnoInstallPathKey.ValueCount > 0)
        {
            unoPath = (string)hklmUnoInstallPathKey.GetValue(hklmUnoInstallPathKey.GetValueNames()[hklmUnoInstallPathKey.ValueCount - 1]);
        }
    }

Then you can use the answer of Funbit [ https://stackoverflow.com/a/31937114/2936206 ]

The most easiest way I found is just copy the URE folder from previous LibreOffice version to LibreOffice 5.
