Description Andreas Buchinger 2014-08-23 15:41:24 UTC 
After extracting AOO version 4.1.1 rc3 for OS/2 I can not start soffice.exe when complete path is more then 128 characters long.

Going into command line window (the same for 4os2 and cmd.exe) and typing in soffice.exe gives error box -
#############################################
OpenOffice 4.1.1 - Fatal Error

The program cannot be started.
A general error occured while accessing your
central configuration.
#############################################

Follow directory names do not work -
T:\Temp\Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.1_os2gcci_install-arc_en-US-rc3-strip\Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.1_os2gcci_install-arc_en-US\OpenOffice 4\program\soffice.exe
T:\Temp\Apache_OpenOffice_4_os2gcci_install123\Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.1_os2gcci_install-arc_en-US\OpenOffice 4\program\soffice.exe

This one works -
T:\Temp\Apache_OpenOffice_4_os2gcci_install12\Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.1_os2gcci_install-arc_en-US\OpenOffice 4\program\soffice.exe

Maybe the problem is only for accessing the root of configuration data which by default is created here at -
T:\Temp\Apache_OpenOffice_4_os2gcci_install12\Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.1_os2gcci_install-arc_en-US\OpenOffice 4\OpenOffice\4\user
Otherwise the error message is misleading.
