My original message, below, first time using the icon for updates at the upper

downloading.
Third time, just now, it went quickly and showed up immediately when installed.
I got it from the update icon at the upper right of a document. I am on
Vista using something called an 'install wizard' that takes over automatically.
It wanted to download it to my desktop; I would have preferred it somewhere
else. I tried to get it to go to something called
users/markhowe/appdata/roaming where I saw other OpenOffice files, but it
didn't.
Most likely your default browser is being used to manage the download, and its setting for the
location is to your desktop. You can generally set the browser to have a different default location,
or possibly one for a specific download activity, but this is not something OOo can do anything
about. Anyway, I'm glad you were able to get OOo installed successfully.

It sounds as if you may need a download manager to allow the download to
complete. When that is
done, you'll generally have an icon on your desktop to double-click for
starting the installation
process, guided by dialogs. The installation itself doesn't take very long, and
there is no restart
required, so that's not likely to be your problem here.
If that doesn't help, we'll need to know where you are downloading from
(www.openoffice.org is the
primary source), what operating system and version you have, and more specific
information about
what specific steps you are taking with what results.
