Dear Mr. Fuchs,

I tried the solutions you suggested without success. Since my computer does not seem to have a file named "openofficeorg20.msi" is there a way to work around this? Thank you for your help with this problem.

Best Wishes,
Charles Burnell

I have Open Office 2.0.3 on my computer. I tried to update it to 2.2 and got an error message during the installation process. The error said "The features you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable." It is looking for openofficeorg20.msi. I can not find this file anywhere. Then I get error 1714. "The older version of OpenOffice.org2.2 cannot be removed.

Can someone help me get this to work? I tried to reinstall the original version of Open Office I have on disk. Once it found a newer version on my computer, it did not go any further.
Thank you,
Charles Burnell

First, before trying to install the new version make sure the old version's Quickstarter is not running. If it is it will show up as a grey icon in the System Tray. Right click on this icon and choose Exit from the menu that pops up.

Second, the error message you are getting is frequently caused by Antivirus (AV) software believing that what you are trying to install is a virus. This does not only happen with OpenOffice. To try to overcome this please do as follows:
1. Completely disconnect your computer from the internet.
2. Disable your AV and firewall software
3. Retry the installation process - after stopping Quickstarter as I outlined above.
4. Enable your AV and firewall software
5. Connect your system to the net; *never* leave your system connected to the internet if your AV and firewall software are not both running properly.

If none of the above helps, come back here and we'll have another think.
