Something like: "A LibreOffice application is still running. Please save and exit before continuing". And then grey out the "Next" button. For bonus points, the uninstaller should automatically continue without needing to be prompted when the user has exited the running LibreOffice application.

(something like Title: "LibreOffice is currently active." Message: "As long as LibreOffice is active, it can not be removed. Do you want to close LibreOffice now? Warning: you will lose any document you are currently working with in LibreOffice.") And, really we should detect if only the quick starter is active (no open files) and if that's the case why not just kill it?
