Hi Matthias,

I have attempted to use the following link: 
https://home.apache.org/~mseidel/AOO-builds/AOO-415-Arabic/Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.5_Win_x86_install_ar.exe
 to download the Arabic build of OpenOffice, but the error I get is “Windows 
cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the 
appropriate permissions to access the item”. I want to run the test build ASAP, 
so any suggestions on this error. Can you instruct me on how to run the test, I 
would appreciate it.

Regards,
Ahmad

I  managed to work around the problem by defaulting the NSIS-Installer
to en-US:
https://home.apache.org/~mseidel/AOO-builds/AOO-415-Arabic/Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.5_Win_x86_install_ar.exe

So, the first part (extracting the files) is in English, the
installation and the program itself should be in Arabic (as far Andrea
mentioned)
