As mentioned; I have 3.2.0 installed w/o issues on Win7 Home Premium 64bit (US English versions). I also had a previous 3.2.rc1 installed & didn't bother to remove when installing 3.2.0 final. Questions/suggestions: 1. When you try to install 3.2.0 do you have the OOo quickstarter running? If so kill it first. Use the Ctrl-Alt-Del to start the task manager and check for any soffice entries. 2. Check to ensure that your most recent java is fully up to date (http://java.com - "Do I have Java") - if not update it to the latest version (version 6 update 18).. Then download the Win OOo version *without* java: http://download.openoffice.org/other.html Make sure this box is _unchecked_: Include the JRE to the download (this option is not available for Linux 32/64-bit Debian and Mac OS). 3. Are you logged in with admin privilages? If not, do so and try installing. If it hangs, go back to the task manager and see if you can tell which office processes are running. Note: it should not be necessary to be admin to install, however this is how I installed mine w/o issue, so just trying to 'replicate' my process. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
