I click OK and things proceed in what seems to be a normal manner
until I get this screen:

Can anything be done so that I can install Open Office?
There is some suggestion that one of the August Windows Updates has
caused problem with Windows Installer. You may want to try this:
o Go to Programs and Features in Control Panel.
o Tick "Show updates" if necessary.
o Search in the list of updates for Windows for the one labelled
KB2918614. (It should be near the bottom, as one of the most recent.)
o Click it and click Remove.
o Try the OpenOffice installation again.
o You may wish to reinstall KB2918614 afterwards. If you have
Automatic Updates switched on, this should happen without further
action on your part. It's just possible that you may have to turn
Automatic Updates off temporarily to prevent this happening before
you attempt the installation of OpenOffice.
For the benefit of any other users (and the archives), the original
questioner replied privately "Worked like a charm."
