We run a ,NET check during install, and if the required version of
.NET is not installed, then we silently do not install CLI URE bridge.
The problem that people see, that we require .NET 2.0 in installer,
while the assemblies in fact require .NET 4.0. It is still under
discussion how to solve the situation. But for testers there is an
easy workaround. Well, there are two.

1. Install .NET 4.0.
-- OR --
2. Install LibreOffice from the command line:
msiexec /i LibO-Dev_4.0.0.0.beta1_Win_x86_install_multi.msi
REQUIRED_DOTNET_VERSION=4.0.0.0

HTH,
