I too downloaded and tried to install OOo 3.2. I too saw the mention of MS Visual C++. Then, I too had the installer crap out because I don't have enough privileges on my system. I'm supposed to have admin-level privileges on my account. I don't have trouble installing other software - it's part of my job. In this corporate environment, I don't have the option to log in as "administrator". So I'm stuck. OpenOffice.org 3.2 - a good idea whose time has not come. Lemme know when it becomes really available. - Kevin (OOo user since 1.0) The information contained in this electronic mail transmission may be privileged and confidential, and therefore, protected from disclosure.
