Once the install had run I got her to use My Computer and go and find
the swriter program and create an icon on her desktop for her to run
it and it did run. I also showed her to use >File >New to create other
types of output. No doubt I will hear if she has any further problems.
Has anyone else had this happen to them under windows or under another
operating system?

Yes, it seems that's "how it is".
It didn't create desktop, quicklaunch or Programs entries for my Win XP
Pro. Actually, I have posted a question about it over on .general so
perhaps you might want to watch there to see if there is anything to be
done about it. Seems like a simple thing to do so I was wondering if it
was something I did or an install shortcoming. I only posted it today
so haven't seen any responses yet. IMO it's an install shortcoming, but
... those might be famous last words<g>.

OOo doesn't create desktop icons etc. However, it _should_ most
definitely create a Start|Programs entry/group. Can you please look
again and verify that it did not? If not, how did you start the program
following your initial install?

I started the program by using the file structure on my windows machine
to locate the swriter.exe file and then create a shortcut from that and
put it on her desktop. I then made sure she could use the shortcut and
showed her >file >new
