If you're still having trouble with the install, the "incomplete or
corrupted" issue is sometimes because your antivirus software is
complaining about a perfectly safe file. If you got the file from
www.openoffice.org (the official website -- careful, there are others
out there that may not be safe):
* After downloading the file, completely disconnect your computer
from the internet.
* Turn off the antivirus software.
* Double-click on the downloaded file and follow the instructions in
the installation dialogs. You can generally just accept the
defaults, but you need to think about what application will be the
default for opening MS Office filetypes (.doc, .xls, .ppt). You
can always change later, and both OpenOffice.org (OOo) and MS
Office can be used on the same computer. If your new computer came
with Office 2007 trial software, be aware that the new default
formats for that (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx) are not reliably readable
by any other applications; you should save in the old formats with
Save As if you use Office, so your files will still be usable
after the trial period without buying Office.
* When installation is complete, turn the antivirus software back on.
* Reconnect to the internet.
