unable to load LO linking to Zotero
Using Win 7, 64 bit. Using Java 7 Update 75 32 bit and only have 32 bit java on my system, deleted all other java and from registry, installed and reinstalled LO Version: 4.4.2.2. Also reinstalled Zotero 4.0.26.2 Tried to link to LO from Zotero. That fails with: You are about to install version 3.5.9 of the extension 'Zotero LibreOffice Integration'.
The older version 0, named 'Zotero_OpenOffice_Integration.oxt', is already installed.
Click 'OK' to replace the installed extension.
Click 'Cancel' to stop the installation
I click OK (of course this add on is not working and in addition I have been unable to remove it, it persists across re-installations of LO) and get:
(com.sun.star.lang.IllegalArgumentException) { { { Message = "Cannot detect media-type: file:///C:/Users/John/AppData/Roaming/LibreOffice/4/user/uno_packages/cache/uno_packages/luqe5c.tmp_/Zotero_OpenOffice_Integration.oxt", Context = (com.sun.star.uno.XInterface) @7abe518 } }, ArgumentPosition = (short) -1 }
The actual .oxt file sits: ...../Zotero_OpenOffice_Integration.oxt/zotero/Zotero_OpenOffice_Integration.oxt
I have tried an older version of LO and am now thinking of going back to LO 3.5, the last version which worked that I know the version number; but would that work with version 7 java?. I need Zotero integration more than any later version of LO.
Any help to solve this greatly appreciated.
I had a similar problem a year ago with LO 4.2 and went back to 3.5 I think then. So it may be in my system somewhere but I have had Zotero working with a more up to date version. Hope someone can help.

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
Could you specify exactly what you're doing when you're getting this: ? Does that happen when you're reinstalling the LO add-on from the Cite tab of the Zotero preferences?
From Zotero cite; re install libre office; auto install fails; so using manual install; clicking opens file location for .oxt file; click on file and it opens LO; which opens LO extension manager and gives the "you are about to install....." notice.
I am wondering whether the extension has failed at some point during a previous version of LO and failed to delete yet something lodges within the LO settings stopping both deletion and prevents re installation. Even after re installation of LO.
FWIW, what's the message you're getting when automatic install fails? Could be that an error report ID submitted right afterwards: http://www.zotero.org/support/reporting_bugs#provide_a_report_id would help, too.
