Description Emin Borbor 2021-02-24 10:36:48 UTC 
Description:
My application is a windows service and creates the documents and spreadsheets for web users. I have been using LibreOffice via Microsoft OLE. (com.sun.star.ServiceManager) It works without any problems on Windows server 2012 R2 and Windows server 2019.

For the reason of the Office365 document format I switched to LibreOffice 7.1.0 recently. With LibreOffice 7.1.0 my application does not work on Windows server 2016, process just hangs.

Thank you in advance

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run the app on Wİndows server 2016
2.
3.

Actual Results:
Process hangs.

Expected Results:
Should generate a docx file.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
With the previous version (LibreOffice 6) it was running on any Windows server versions (2012,2016 or 2019).

Last week we have upgraded production server to Window Server 2019 and this bug is not occurring any more as I explained in the description.

Maybe this is related:

We're running an application that calls LO Writer via OLE like this (code from Sybase PowerBuilder):

	OleControl	loc_Object
	...
	loc_Object.ObjectData = loc_Object.InsertClass( "LibreOffice.WriterDocument.1" ).ObjectData
	loc_Object.Activate( OffSite! )

Up to LO 7.0.6, this works seamlessly. However, since 7.1.x, the application throws a Windows error:

	Error no. 298, Too many posts were made to a semaphore.

Any idea what has changed from 7.0.x to 7.1.x that might cause this error?

This still occurs with LO 24.2 RC2.
