That's very strange! Generally there's a complaint about not having a valid certificate, but
you're allowed to proceed at your own risk. I've never heard of this particular error. One thing you
can do is to check the "md5sum" of the file you downloaded against the one that is associated with
the specific version on the site. (Search for openoffice.org md5sum to get more information about
this.) If they don't match, it may be that whatever is performing the download is somehow corrupting
the file. In that case, you may need to use an independent download manager to get a clean copy.
If the md5sum matches, and there is no way to override the warning, I'm stumped! Maybe somebody else
on the list will be able to provide more insight, especially if you provide something like a screen
shot of the error (it should get to the list if you include it in a .odt file -- graphic files sent
directly are not accepted by the list manager).

As long as you are getting OOo from an official website (www.openoffice.org
<http://www.openoffice.org> is the primary one) there should be no concern
about the security
of the download. I'm not sure what it takes to provide a valid
"certificate" -- maybe the
organization has to pay? Anyway, you should be fine with what you've
already downloaded,
telling the installation to proceed with the operation without having the
valid certificate.
