I wish that was true, but unfortunately it isn't. OpenOffice.org works with Vista.
Just go back to www.OpenOffice.org and download again and check the md5sum to verify that the file isn't corrupted. Then try to install again. What I am trying to say is that I would guess that your downloaded file is corrupt in one way or the other. Maybe the download failed and some parts of it is missing?
