Hi :)
Have you tried downloading the Windows one in Mint and then run a antivirus 
scan on it?  maybe Clamav?  

I'm sure i downloaded LO recently on an Xp and on a Win 7 macine with no 
problems but i might have another look later.  

Could someone forwards the problem to the websites mailing list to see if 
something new has cropped up?  
Regards from 
Tom :)
