You can also try to install libreoffice interactively, select 
"C:\Program Files\LibreOffice 4.0", clic "Ok" and back on the previous 
screen you see that it has automatically switched to "C:\Program Files 
(x86)\LibreOffice 4.0". Argh !

It seems that there is no way to install libreoffice in "C:\Program 
Files\LibreOffice 4.0", Windows/msiexec forces to install it in "(x86)"...

Does someone have more information about that, can confirm this behavior...?
