If I understand you, you are trying to use the msi files to open other
files. This will not work as the files you mention above are for
installing the software. I also suspect that the installation files are
on your desktop and this is what has confused you. Please see
http://documentation.openoffice.org/setup_guide2/2.x/en/SETUP_GUIDE.pdf
on installing OOo so that you can use it properly. 

Hope this helps
