Thanks NoOp:
I was able to stop and completely disabled DEP as you suggested. But
the Windows Installer stopped anyway, in the same place, even when I
tried to run everything as "administrator".
Dialog Error Message states:
Windows Installer Has Stopped Working
A problem caused the program to stop working
correctly. Windows will close the program
and notify you if a solution is available.
A couple of days ago, before turning off DEP, I got this same error
message, and then when I hit the continue button, I got the message
about DEP being triggered on a memory violation. Now that I have turned
DEP off, when I hit the continue button, nothing more happens.
Any further ideas?
Should I file a bug report?
Many thanks to all.

Does anyone know how to turn off DEP entirely? I changed it so it "only
monitors essential windows services", but apparently the Windows
Installer (which the OO 2.2.1 seems to be writing into the data memory
of) is "essential", so I am unable to turn off the DEP exceptions and
install OO.
Again, here is the data:
I can install, reinstall, deinstall, and deinstall and reinstall OO
2.2.0 with no problem.
I have not had trouble installing or deinstalling any other software.
OO 2.2.1 installation causes DEP to trigger, terminating Windows
Installer, and hence aborting the entire installation.
I'm willing to try turning off DEP if someone can explain how to do it.
O/S is 32-bit Windows Vista Home Premium.
Any thoughts?
