Trying to update using
      Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.12_Win_x86_install_en-US
which I just downloaded from
    https://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html

Running it ...
choosing "typical setup"
reaching "Ready to install"  hittingf "Install" button

Then it says:
   Please exit OpenOffice 4.1.12 and the OpenOffice 4.1.12
   Kickstarter before you continue...

Hmmm ... no such things seem to be running ... And it is a single user
system ...So there is nothing special for me to do, right?

Why does it make this remark?

The only action is presents is the "OK" button.

It is actually the Quickstarter, and to close it Open Task Manager (on Windows 10 click in the area where your start key is) and look for any soffice processes that are running and close them bye right-clicking on them and choose End Task on the fly-out menu that opens. Once that is done re-run the installer and all should be well.

To disable the QuickStarter from loading go t oTools > Options > OpenOffice > Memory and deselect the Load OpenOffice during system start-up item.

Hitting it results in:coming back to the normalTools > Options > OpenOffice > 
Memory. Installer window, saying
    Installation Wizard Completed

   The wizard was interrupted before OpenOffice 4.1.12 could be completely
installed

   Your system has not been modified ....

Arrrrgh

What's up folks? How to make this update of OpenOffice work?

Regards,
