'Libre office configuration file bootstrap.ini corrupt

I am using the libreoffice-convert package to convert a Word file into PDF. But when I try to convert I get this error. How do I fix this? I have installed LibreOffice 7.0.5

enter image description here

Console log is showing this error:

'C:\\Program Files\\LibreOffice\\program\\soffice.exe -env:UserInstallation=file://C:\\Users\\thesa\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\soffice-10416-bQefydwUfs2F --headless --convert-to .pdf --outdir C:\\Users\\thesa\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\libreofficeConvert_-10416-v46bO7ljGHRe C:\\Users\\thesa\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\libreofficeConvert_-10416-v46bO7ljGHRe\\source'

Try this, you will probably need administrator rights.

  1. Locate and copy your orignal file, for example to "bootstrap.ini.org", in the same directory1.
  2. Open the file and replace its contents with this, which is a copy of my file: 
    [Bootstrap]
InstallMode=<installmode>
ProductKey=LibreOffice 7.0
UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/LibreOffice/4

Another option is to re-install or repair the installation.

Note 1: This copy is just in case you need to revert.

//let data = await fs.promises.readFile(path_to_excel_file);
            let data = fs.readFileSync(path_to_excel_file)
            let pdfFile = await libreConvert(data, '.pdf', undefined);
            await fs.promises.writeFile(`${__dirname}/${docName}.pdf`, pdfFile);
            res.download(`${__dirname}/${docName}.pdf`)

It will works File. Even If don't work then follow below step: Add this line 14 after instalDir

const installDir = tmp.dirSync({prefix: 'soffice', unsafeCleanup: true, ...tmpOptions});
const posixInstallDir = installDir.name.split(path.sep).join(path.posix.sep);

then Replace commant

let command = `${results.soffice}  --headless --convert-to ${format}`;

That's it..

-env:UserInstallation needs to be in URI form.

Note: also that you using file:// this should be file:/// see File URI scheme

-env:UserInstallation=file:///C:/Users/thesa/AppData/Local/Temp/soffice-10416-bQefydwUfs2F

>>> from pathlib import Path

>>> def get_posix(mypath) -> str:
>>>     p = Path(mypath)
>>>     return p.as_posix()

>>> tmp = "C:\\Users\\thesa\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\soffice-10416-bQefydwUfs2F"

>>> get_posix(tmp)
'C:/Users/thesa/AppData/Local/Temp/soffice-10416-bQefydwUfs2F'

or

>>> from pathlib import Path

>>> tmp = Path("C:\\Users\\thesa\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\soffice-10416-bQefydwUfs2F")
>>> tmp.as_uri()
'file:///C:/Users/thesa/AppData/Local/Temp/soffice-10416-bQefydwUfs2F'
