Hi,
I am trying to download open office but on the home page there only seems to be the option of version 2.4.0. I assume that is the latest version and have downloaded it but it won't run on my pc. I use windows Vista, should it work on that system? It says that the installer i'm trying to use is corrupt or incomplete?!
When i went to the instructions on the site (tutorial page) it states that in order to download i should be downloading version 2.3 but i cannot find a link to this on the homepage.
Do you have any advice for how i get around this and how i can install open
office on my PC?
The current version is 2.4, so that tutorial page is a bit stale. There
are a couple of causes for your problem. One is an incomplete or
corrupt download. You can verify this with the md5sums, as described
here: http://download.openoffice.org/2.4.0/md5sums.html
Also, on Windows, a common cause is some anti-virus software interfering
with the download. There was a problem with the installer, which had a
fix from Microsoft, on XP, but I haven't heard of this also occurring on
Vista.
