I (re)reported the problem with the pathes in miktex
https://sourceforge.net/p/miktex/bugs/2322/ 

But it is really difficult to see how this should be handled at
best. The path depends obviously on installation and the "%%~" for
$SELFAUTOPARENT seems not to work in miktex.

I reported it too https://sourceforge.net/p/miktex/bugs/2505/

With a current texlive 2016 and also with miktex (after correcting
the env) I get no error and line 94 ends looks this:

</text:list-level-style-bullet> <text:list-level-style-bullet
text:level="4" text:style-name="Bullet-Symbols"
text:bullet-char="&#x00B7;" >
