Top post; otherwise this would get too confusing.!

Are you logged on with administrative rights? Perhaps you don't have full access to [all] the director-y[-ies] into which you are trying install the software.

Try turning off your Firewall too (as well as your AV). Make sure you disconnect from the internet before dong this.

If this all fails then I think you'll need a local guru who can sit at your keyboard and poke about ("investigate"). Or maybe someone closer to you physically can help using Windows Remote Assistance.

Do you have any suggestions how to get by this problem? Andy Bistline


I'm assuming you are using  Windows.

Sounds like you Antivirus (AV) software thinks the file is a virus. This often happens, not just with OpenOffice. To fix it: 1. Disconnect your computer completely from the internet (pull the modem plug from the phone socket or disconnect the LAN cable)
2. Turn off (disable)  your AV software
3. Run the installation procedure
4. Turn on your AV  software
5. Re-connect to the internet. Never leave you computer connected to the internet if you AV software is not running properly.

If this doesn't work, come back here and tell us exactly what you did and what happened, including the text of any error messages.
