I had the same problem under a German version of Windows 98SE. It is the fault 
of SETUP.EXE (I never liked programs called SETUP.EXE since the first time I 
saw one): SETUP.EXE mistakenly assumes that MSIEXEC.EXE needs an update, starts 
INSTMSIA.EXE, which gives a meaningless error message, thereafter SETUP.EXE 
fails.

Fortunately SETUP.EXE isn't needed for the installation at all (it was just 
thrown in as a user-friendly extra). All you need to do is: Go to the command 
line, CD to the directory into which the OpenOffice distribution was unpacked, 
and type:

START OPENOFFICEORG20.MSI (or whatever the only .msi file in this directory is 
called). Or use the Explorer to double-click OPENOFFICEORG20.MSI.

(The error of SETUP.EXE will most likely not occur on a freshly installed 
system, but on one that has been updated by Windows Update to the most current 
version - but that's just a suspicion, nothing I have proved.)

NOTE: This is a duplicate of issue <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=55402">55402</a>, 
which is NOT a duplicate of <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=55114">55114</a>.
