Install Zotero for LibreOffice

Tihanyi Benedek · October 21, 2017

Dear All,
I'm struggling with installing zotero for LibreOffice v.5.3.6.1 in Windows 7.
Zotero LibreOffice Integration v.5 was installed, JDK 141 was installed and selected in LibreOffice Tools/Options.
Still, while installing Zotero_OpenOffice_Integration in LO Extension manager, the following error shows up: Could not create Java implementation loader
Could you help me?
Best regards,
Benedek

JRE should be enough and 151 is the latest version and while JDK should technically work, it may be worth installing the JRE, selecting it in LibreOffice and trying again.

thanks, it in itself did not work, but I'll try this https://www.zotero.org/support/word_processor_plugin_troubleshooting#could_not_create_java_implementation_loader

Completely uninstalling the JDK and reinstalling the JRE might be worth a shot and usually fixes it.

This is generally a LibreOffice problem -- if you get this error, you won't be able to install any LibreOffice extensions, not just the Zotero one. People on the LibreOffice troubleshooting forums might provide more detailed guidance, so worth a shot asking there.
