That message seems to be saying that a Basic library loaded at the
directory you list does not exist.
Which version of OpenOffice are you running? Did you, perhaps, install a
new version of OpenOffice?
Do you have the directory as listed above? If yes, what files are in
that directory?
I do not have a Windows instance to check against; sorry. I will do some
guessing.
How did you find this path? Do you find this path somewhere in options,
or, did you look on your hard drive?
This may be only marginally useful to you, but, I am currently on a
Linux computer and I have LibreOffice installed, but, I think that the
information will still be useful to you.
I have a file located here:
/home/andy/.config/libreoffice/4/user/basic/script.xlc
I expect that from what you stated, you should have a file here:
C:\Users\His\AppData\Roaming\OpenOffice.org\3\user\basic\script.xlc
If you look at script.xlc, I expect that you will find an entry that
looks something like this:
xlink:href="$(USER)/basic/Calc/script.xlb/" xlink:type="simple"
library:link="false"/>
This is saying that you have a library named Calc and that it is
described in the file script.xlb. (remember that I asked about the files
in that directory above).
Just trying to get a feel for what you have on your machine.

Re: Sneak in Scam
Because many data service providers interface *only* through Internet Explorer. That can be handled. But the VB code the services use won't run on Mac or Linux. I'm a real estate appraiser and our local Multiple Listing Service uses a database/web application that runs only on IE. I've asked several times for just plain ascii access: Here's a map number, send me all the properties. He cannot do that, and his board won't let him change the software that they paid thousands for, and keep paying a high subscription fee for. I finally just cancelled my subscription and do things the old-fashioned way. But mostly, I think using Windows is just a bad habit that's harder to quit than smoking.

Some non-SourceForge sites which come top of Google searches use a
DownloadManager (or similar name) of about 34MB to download OpenOffice. Such
sites, in my limited experience of investigating complaints on the en-Forum,

I guess that's not the program you're talking about.
Having said that we are committed to remove all malicious ads that do not
clearly state what are they about. All I need to remove those it's a
screenshot of the download page with the misleading ads and the link to
which such ads points to. Most of the times we are able to get rid of that
in few hours, only over the week-end it could take longer.
