On Windows 10

Open Task Manager

Look in the list of background processes (if no list, look for the "More
details" link at bottom left of Task Manager, click that, the background
processes list should be shown now)

Find every OpenOffice process, select them, and then click "End Task" button

Now try the installation

something like this may happen when upgrading while OpenOffice (OO) is 
running or in similar situations. I do not use Windows, but I would 
guess there is some entry in the registry which indicates that OO is 
already open, which causes this kind of error message. There may also be 
some kind of mixup with the admin account (IIRC, later Windows versions 
allow installation of some programs only as admin). Then you would have 
to log in as admin and look for some indication of an open OO.


I hope this helps. Maybe someone else who uses Windows can give more info.
