Rory has provided information about the actual process. The process is to download and install a new version. This is common for open-source distributions.
I could easily be mistaken, since I have not done this in a long time, but I believe Apache OpenOffice 4.1.1 (the latest) will install side-by-side with an older OpenOffice.org 3.1, although you may need to set some preferences over again. You may want to uninstall 3.1 yourself afterwards, using the Windows XP Control Panel, if AOO 4.1.1 does not give you the option while installing. Automatic updating has never been part of OpenOffice, as far as I know, and Apache OpenOffice has not been designed to do it. It is unlikely that we will ever do so for Windows XP. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Lisa & Bo Danielsson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, September 17, 2015 05:11 To: [email protected] Subject: installing problems OO4.1.1 Hello, Why isn´t it possible to automaticly update existing 3.1 to 4.1 in my Windows XP ? Also when I`m trying to manually update, messages like auther unknown... and verifying signature, occurs and the installation fail. Am I doing something badly wrong or is my computer in the wrong mode. Asking for an easy and positive answer, understanable for a normal user.
