We bought two new laptops with Vista Business 32 pre-installed. I

Now what? Now just run the correct file to install the product.
Is there an Open Office version for Vista Business?
Yes: you very probably already have it.

For all those who wrote in April 2007 about whether OO will run in
vista, it doesn't.
It does, of course - for countless users around the world.
I spent 2 hours downloading it, only to be told "Wrong OS or OS
Version". So now I am spending another 2 hours downloading the
3.0beta version because I cannot find anywhere on the OO.org site
whether the 3.0beta will run on Vista Business 32. Stay tuned, you're
likely to hear more from me as the research continues .....
No need for research: just run the correct file. The message you see
is produced if you try to run instmsia or instmsiw from the unpacked
files. That's not the way to do it. If you run the setup(.exe) file
instead, OpenOffice should install without any problem.
I trust this helps.

To Brian, et al: Don't be so sure! Vista is plain junk as far as outside
products are concerned! The majority of people who have bothered to put
Vista on their machines have lived to regret it! Unless you are a
computer guru who knows how to work with it forward and backwards, it is
not worth it, and even MSFT has learned that, to the extent of having to
support Windows XP longer than they had anticipated! Don't call me a
Troll, I am just relaying what MSFT has said, publicly! :-(
