Unfortunately, Steve, there IS an openoffice.com website -- but it isn't the real OOo website, which is openoffice.org. And you can't get any version of OOo from Microsoft. :-) And the OP never got the file fully unpacked, so there's nothing for him to uninstall, but he may as well delete the bad file.

I tried with all antiviruses uninstalled but the following nsis error appears again.

Please note that ‘’exe ‘’ is not in the file name . On double clicking ''NSIS ERROR'' appears which says '' INTEGRITY CHECK HAS FAILED.

'' Do I have to download '' JAVA RUNTIME'' As the ''JRE'' in the filename I saved suggests ? When I drag the above file in black cmd window then it start unpacking it but after 17-18% a small window appears with a red cross which says'' Error decompressing data!Corrupted installer ?

Interesting. The name of the file should be

OOo_3.1.0_Win32Intel_install_wJRE_en-US.exe

I don't understand the part about "DOWN THEM ALL" -- I don't see anything like that on the www.openoffice.org website. It has "I want to download OpenOffice.org" and clicking that gets a box with "Download now!" and a big arrow, preset for the version that my OS (VistaHP) needs. You do need the Java Runtime Environment, and it's easiest to get it as part of the package with OOo. Did you use a different website? There is a way to verify that the file has not been corrupted; according to the site, its MD5SUM is

88b6edeb5df6d6bc63bc63ce4d4910af


(Instructions for using MD5SUMs are at www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/using_md5sums.html). It does sound as if you got a bad file; I recommend using the OOo website, and some kind of download manager (if you use the Firefox browser, there's apparently a good one built in).

Hope this helps!
