When I try to uninstall OOo I get a message saying that the installation
source for the product is unavailable.

When I try to re-install over the top I get the message that OOo is already
installed on my computer.

Here are some comments from someone else on this list which may assist:

I've done a bit of research, and one suggestion is apparently that the
remnants of the previous installation can cause this problem, perhaps by
leaving registry entries that should have been removed.  And the suggested
solution is to try again to uninstall the older version.  Do you still
have the installation file for the *previous* version?  If not, you should
be able to download it again, either from the OpenOffice site or, failing
that, from either http://openoffice.bouncer.osuosl.org/ or
ftp://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/openoffice/stable/.  When you have this, run that
installation again, and you should get options to modify, repair, or
remove the application.  If you choose "remove" and let it complete its
work, you may find that the uninstallation is completed properly.  Then
you can run the installation of the new version again, of course.

Please remember to keep the list included on all emails. There are
plenty of people that can assist with your issue.
