Hi :)
I keep thinking that it's 'got to be' something to do with the permissions in
Win7. But it's weird that you are not having the same problem with other
programs, just with LO. Have you installed other OpenSource programs such as
Firefox and Gimp.
Firefox, Thunderbird, VLC, Filezilla... you name it.
What antivirus environment? If your realtime antivirus detects a false
positive in the unpacking / running of the installation, this is the
behavior I have seen. Disable the antivirus / unload the realtime
scanner.
Ah, that worked, I temporarily disabled Panda Internet Security and that
solved the problem. Dunno if it's of interest but OO wouldn't install
either. That was very good advice thank you all very much, feel much
better now :)
And a million other impediments built in by M$ into Windows7.
Oh yes, 2 Win 7 machines, one XP, d' ya think any but the server pc can
see the shared printers? Harrr
But then neither Linux nor MacOS are all they're cracked up to be...
they all have aspects which drive their respective users insane! And
before you ask, I *detest* the way Linux forces the UI language of an
application to the language you set in your locale settings. The most
dimwitted bit of Linux I've seen to date, as if people never mix
languages on their hardware :)
Thanks again for all your help!
Mike
