Solution to "Could not create java implementation loader"
Posted: Sat Mar 17, 2012 4:57 am
I had this problem recently. I had updated OO 3.1 directly to OO 3.3 by downloading and running the OO 3.3 installer. This was after the check for update button broke. Then I tried to install CompPad (great extension, by the way). When I tried to install it, I got the above error. I upgraded to the latest version of Java (runtime version 1.6.0_31). This did not work either and I ended up with two JRE versions on the computer. I tried the other solutions that I found in the forums (clean profile and uncheck the "use a java runtime environment" button) but they did not work.
Here is the solution I finally got to work:
Uninstall all versions of Java, reboot
Install the latest Java, reboot
Uninstall OO 3.3.0, reboot
Rename the OO profile in my user account so it can't be found
Install OO 3.2.0 (this seems to be a key step), run it once so it populates a new profile, reboot
Install the CompPad extension (hopefully successfully at this point)
Install OO 3.3.0 directly over OO 3.2.0, run it once
All should be fine at this point.
I then installed Alternate Search and Replace (another great extension)
I've seen others have this problem in the forums so I thought I would post my solution. I could not find this solution, but one of the other forum threads put me on to the problem with the jump from 3.1 to 3.3. The system I was working on is running Windows 7 Starter on an Acer AspireOne netbook, 1 GB RAM, 1024x768 screen res. I hope this helps someone avoid the time I wasted trying to get this to work.
