I have used OpenOffice since it branch out of Star Office, currently
using version 1.1.4, I decided to try the latest Beta 2 version and
downloaded the files yesterday.
Followed all the installation instructions up to Unzipping/Executing
the Installation Program successfully. When the Install Program
starts loading all the files, stops about two thirds of the way and a
dialog box opens up saying it can't find openofficeorg3.cab - no
matter what I try (including deleting the whole install folder and
unzipping the original download again) ends up at the same dialog
box.
When I look at the contents of both the zipped download and the
install folders I can see that openofficeorg3.cab &
openofficeorg4.cab are missing from the install folder. Any attempt
to manually "move/copy" these two files from the zipped donwload
folder to the install folder fails.
Any suggestion how to fix the problem, other than re-downloading (it
took over four and a half hours for the 75 Mb)?

If you downloaded from Pacific Internet, I think some of their files are
corrupted. i had a similar problem with the linux file.
You need to run m5sum.exe. This will make sure that you have a good
copy of the install file. If you don't know how to do this see:
http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/using_md5sums.html
for detailed instructions.
If it turns out you downloaded a bad copy try a different mirror, such
as the Planet Mirror site... when you're done run m5sum.exe again to
confirm you got a good copy.
How is one supposed to know from which mirror they donwloaded?
I just clicked on the link included in the announcement that
appeard in this list. I haven't yet tried to install.
