Thanks for the information. I could reproduce it by removing
msvcr100.dll from C:\WINDOWS\system32.

Now, I'm not sure if this is something AOO should fix: AOO is built with
VS 2008, so its redistributable package is installed with AOO. It's
Oracle Java 7 that is build with VS 2010, Java 7 has msvcr100.dll in the
\bin folder, but I guess they should install the redistributable system
wide.

Found this interesting stuff

For now, the solution is to install

5EEF6E/vcredist_x86.exe
