I want to install OpenOffice 4.1.17, but when unpacking the program I keep getting the message -- Click OK to try again or type a different path to a folder containing the installation package -- openoffice.4116.msi-- in the box below. I have tried everything
Frankly I doubt that. :)
but I do not have the -- openoffice 4116.msi package. Could you send it to me?
If you want to install OpenOffice 4.1.17, then I do not think that you will want the "openoffice 4116.msi" package. I think you will probably want the "openoffice 4117.msi" package. You can download it from here: https://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html [*] The installation instructions are here: https://www.openoffice.org/download/common/instructions.html Does that help? If not, in your next message please give more information, such as what operating system you are using and exactly what steps you took to get to this point. -- 73, Ged. [*] On a Linux box, I downloaded the package from the URI given above and used '7z' to extract the contents. The file 'openoffice4117.msi' is included in the package, as I expected. I do not use Windows machines so I can't easily test it here. There were a couple of errors during the extraction, I do not know the significance but they do not appear to be relevant to the .msi file. 8<----------------------------------------------------------------------8<---------------------------------------------------------------------- ... ... ~/Downloads/OO$ >>> ls -l total 139892 -rw-r--r-- 1 ged ged 143243640 Nov 2 15:52 Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.17_Win_x86_install_en-US.exe ... ... raspberrypi:~/Downloads/OO$ >>> 7z e Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.17_Win_x86_install_en-US.exe 7-Zip [64] 16.02 : Copyright (c) 1999-2016 Igor Pavlov : 2016-05-21 p7zip Version 16.02 (locale=en_GB.UTF-8,Utf16=on,HugeFiles=on,64 bits,4 CPUs LE) Scanning the drive for archives: 1 file, 143243640 bytes (137 MiB) Extracting archive: Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.17_Win_x86_install_en-US.exe -- Path = Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.17_Win_x86_install_en-US.exe Type = PE Physical Size = 143243640 CPU = x86 Characteristics = Executable 32-bit NoRelocs NoLineNums NoLocalSyms Created = 2025-03-08 23:05:20 Headers Size = 1024 Checksum = 143247957 Image Size = 339968 Section Alignment = 4096 File Alignment = 512 Code Size = 27136 Initialized Data Size = 184832 Uninitialized Data Size = 2048 Linker Version = 6.0 OS Version = 4.0 Image Version = 6.0 Subsystem Version = 4.0 Subsystem = Windows GUI DLL Characteristics = Relocated NX-Compatible NoSEH TerminalServerAware Stack Reserve = 1048576 Stack Commit = 4096 Heap Reserve = 1048576 Heap Commit = 4096 Image Base = 4194304 Comment = FileVersion: 4.1.9816.500 ProductVersion: 4.1.9816.500 ProductVersion: 4.1.17 CompanyName: Apache Software Foundation FileDescription: Apache OpenOffice Installer LegalCopyright: (c) 2012-2026 The Apache Software Foundation ProductName: Apache OpenOffice ---- Path = [0] Size = 143151920 Packed Size = 143151920 Virtual Size = 143151920 Offset = 83456 -- Path = [0] Type = Nsis Physical Size = 143151914 Tail Size = 6 Method = Deflate Solid = - Headers Size = 23614 Embedded Stub Size = 0 SubType = NSIS-3 Unicode BadCmd=11 ERROR: Data Error : redist/vcredist_x64.exe ERROR: Data Error : redist/vcredist_x86.exe Sub items Errors: 2 Archives with Errors: 1 Sub items Errors: 2 ~/Downloads/OO$ >>> ls -lrt total 143368 -rw-r--r-- 1 ged ged 211 Nov 14 2007 ioSpecial.ini -rw-r--r-- 1 ged ged 25818 Feb 21 2023 modern-header.bmp -rw-r--r-- 1 ged ged 154542 Feb 9 2026 modern-wizard.bmp -rw-r--r-- 1 ged ged 282 Oct 8 05:14 setup.ini -rw-r--r-- 1 ged ged 10948 Oct 8 05:14 readme_en-US.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 ged ged 11294 Oct 8 05:14 readme_en-US.html -rw-r--r-- 1 ged ged 2478080 Oct 8 05:14 openoffice4117.msi -rw-r--r-- 1 ged ged 6024 Oct 8 05:14 NOTICE -rw-r--r-- 1 ged ged 198479 Oct 8 05:14 LICENSE -rw-r--r-- 1 ged ged 0 Oct 8 05:14 vcredist_x86.exe -rw-r--r-- 1 ged ged 0 Oct 8 05:14 vcredist_x64.exe -rw-r--r-- 1 ged ged 453632 Oct 8 05:14 setup.exe -rw-r--r-- 1 ged ged 181554 Oct 8 05:15 openoffice1.cab -rw-r--r-- 1 ged ged 15872 Nov 2 15:52 InstallOptions.dll -rw-r--r-- 1 ged ged 143243640 Nov 2 15:52 Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.17_Win_x86_install_en-US.exe 8<----------------------------------------------------------------------8<---------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
