No that's OK. The command selects *first MSI cabinet* and "program" directory
in it as the source of files. Regarding a question from comment 9 wrt "why is
it looking for C:\Windows\Installer\... for the source location?" - well,
Windows Installer saves a copy of installation database to its own folder for
deferred (run with elevated privileges) phase. That's normal, too.

(In reply to Dirk Munk from comment #19 and comment #20)

These are the two really good comments. The problem here is that updating
LibreOffice first *uninstalls* previous version (it asks Windows Installer to
do its normal job removing an installed package) - and in that process,
LibreOffice directory under Program Files is removed. But - yes, *sometimes*,
for unclear reasons directly related to used state of the directory, it might
hang in a "limbo state", not being removed completely. That might have
something to do with multitude of Windows locking/sharing mode combinations,
when a process might open a directory with a permission that others processes
are free to delete the directory - but then Windows mush still guarantee
somehow that the directory handle owned by first process is still valid... but
that is completely out of control of LibreOffice installation database.

What is relevant is that the problem could likely be solved only by avoiding
removing older version prior to installation of the newer version (moving
installer's RemoveExistingProducts down the execution sequence) - see bug
117492, which I couldn't solve myself.
