And you checked with md5sum? There are instruction on using and getting md5sum.exe on the download page. Many factors can affect a download and OOo provides the md5sums as a check that your system did not corrupt the file. While it is possible that the mirror you selected has a bad copy other mirrors do not as I confirmed by downloading from one of the Canadian mirrors and running md5sum against the downloaded file. Thus I am inclined to believe that the software you used to download or your system has software such as a virus scanner that caused the corruption. See http://user-faq.openoffice.org/faq/ar01s03.html#id2811028 Further I recommend that you disable any virus scanner, spy software et cetera before doing any download including OOo. -- Documentation Co-Lead PLEASE - keep list traffic on the list.
