Hello,
My name is Pauline Fisher. I have downloaded Open Office to my computer, on
the desktop and when I try to install it, it says it can't.
I've tried double-clicking on setup.exe, plus I've tried clicking on
install. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong, and I would greatly
appreciat any help you are able to give.
Much regards,
Pauline Fisher
First, you must "un-Zip" the downloaded file. This is easily
accomplished using a program like WinZip or 7-zip. You can obtain these
programs from http://winzip.com or http://7-zip.com, respectively. There
is also an unzipping utility built into Windows XP, but I cannot address
its use as I don't use that OS.
If you're using WinZip, it is easiest to select the menu function Action
> Checkout. This function expands the *.zip file and simultaneously
creates and opens an installation program group. From within the
program group, select the *.msi file to perform the installation in any
version of Windows, or Setup.exe to install only to a version of Win9x.
When you have completed the installation, closing either the
Installation program group box or the WinZip box removes the group and
deletes the temporary installation files and subdirectory.
