Tried to fire up LibreOffice on the Win7 machine because two big screens is better than one small one for doing my GURPS stuff.
Silver Light said to please wait while it updated my installation.
I know that LibreOffice has moved on and they don't support Win7 anymore, so I expected it to fail in a moment and let me continue.
Nope!
It finished an I got a "cannot find api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll" and no LibreOffice 26.2.6 anymore.
Mutter mutter mutter.
I'll just repair the install of LibreOffice, I think.
No go.
So I uninstall it.
Reboot.
Cannot find the network. This happens about once per 100 reboots for some reason.
Reboot.
Wait.
Reinstall.
Try to run it.
Silver Light, again, says to please wait while...
I stab the little red box with the X in it!
Try to run it again.
Loooooooooooong delay.
LibreOffice 25.2.6 lives!
Change the settings to stop checking for updates and to stop trying to automatically update.
Grumble.
The Win7 machine is perfectly fine offline, I just need to get programs to stop trying to reach the outside world!
