Re: Installation Problems.
Granted that in 2020 it feels odd to still be buying DVD's with the software on it but there is still a legitimate market for it. I agree that there is the possibility to get things you don't want with it but there are also folks playing it straight. They add value by including extras, one vendor in particular has issued a new DVD yearly, they include a custom windows installer, all the language packs, lots of free fonts, bunches of added templates and manuals. The DVD includes Windows and Mac binaries. They are clear in their marketing material that support, for everything other then the installer, comes from the AOO community. They also charge are very reasonable price of around 10 USD or 8 Euro. On Mon, Feb 24, 2020 at 10:05 PM Bruce Pierson wrote: > I would be wary of getting it on a CD these days.

Re: Installation Problems.
I would be wary of getting it on a CD these days. There are more than a few vendors that will sell you a CD with Open Office on it. However, the CD may have other little nasties on it as well most of which you do not want. If you have to pay for the software beware. “ *Avoid pronouncing the phrases everyone else does.

Re: Installation Problems.
There is a long history of OpenOffice.org being offered on CD and DVD. This was at times with the blessings of the old owners of the Intellectual Property rights to the URL, Sun Microsystems, and numerous individual boosters, and some commercial operations. The practice went on after the IP was sold to Oracle and then granted to Apache Software Foundation with regards to boosters and commercial operations right down to today. You may want to nudge folks to only using the download from the openoffice.org URL, that Apache OpenOffice continues to use, but no one should act surprised that some folks will have acquired it via CD or DVD.

Re: Installation Problems
Did you download the file from OpenOffice.org? I don’t know of any version of OO that uses a CD disk. Latest version is 4.1.7 ( https://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html) If you paid for the version (very obsolete) that you are trying to install, you got ripped off. Open Office is free.
