Re: [users] Open Office 3.2 for 64-bit Windows 7 did not install
Maybe an installer issue? Maybe, maybe not. Anyway, it was NOT an Open Office 3.2 issue. I got more and more pieces of software that refused to install, exactly as described: keeping the CPU busy for 25% and not showing any progress. The same happened to e.g. Java and LFI LANGuard. I stumbled upon a solution by accident. After running CCleaner (for other reasons), all these problems disappeared by itself. But please don't ask me why. -- -- Jan van Hoek -- Mon, 10 May 2010 09:47 uur reply-to: users@openoffice.org to: users@openoffice.org from: NoOp gl...@sbcglobal.net date: Wed, 24 Mar 2010 10:15:37 -0700 subject: [users] Re: Open Office for Windows 7 On 03/24/2010 07:28 AM, Jan van Hoek wrote: Questions/suggestions: In the mean time, I combined all your hints: I upgraded Java to version 6 upd 18, and I downloaded an OOo installer executable without JRE.

Re: [users] Open Office for Windows 7
You must use a 32bit Java runtime with OO.o, a 64bit runtime will not work It shows build 1.6.0_18-b07 as version number. Can you deduce from that whether I have 32-bit or 64-bit?? A further hint: Java has been installed in the Program files (x86) directory, indicating that it is 32-bit rather than 64-bit. In the mean time, I combined all the hints I received from NoOp: I upgraded Java to version 18, and I downloaded an OOo installer executable without JRE. Both to no avail. In other words, I got stuck with OOo 3.1 (on this one PC only, so I can live with it). Two other PC's got upgraded to OOo 3.2 without incident. -- -- Jan van Hoek -- Wed, 24 Mar 2010 14:56 uur - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org

Re: [users] Open Office for Windows 7
I was referring to the version of OO.o and indicating that it was the English variant (...) You are right in this. I overlooked what you were trying to get accross. Anyway, the version that I downloaded and attempted to install was named OOo_3.2.0_Win32Intel_install_wJRE_en-US.exe, which is obviously US- english en not UK-english. Your attachment did not make this list. If you think it relevant you may send it to me privately. Maybe this time it does reach you (I added your e-mail address in the TO field).

Re: [users] Open Office for Windows 7
I've had no problems using OOo 3.1.1 I had neither, until... so OOo 3.2 (the current version) should work I've (re)tried to install OOo 3.2, but the install consistently just hangs and produces, while using 25% CPU for hours, no workable version. I've also tried a few workarounds that I saw on various forums, but to no avail. For example, removing the old 3.1 version, or cleaning the Windows Installer. The only difference that MAY be relevant, is that I run a 64-bit version of Windows 7. That is the only deviation that I can think of. In other words, I'm still running OOo 3.1 without a problem. And as long as I see no urgent reasons to make a move to OOo 3.2, I stay with that I have. -- -- Jan van Hoek -- Mon 22 Mar 2010 12:10 uur - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
Re: [users] Open Office for Windows 7
I'm running the English 3.2.0 on 64 bit Windows 7 (Home Premium). It installed without problems, Thanks for this. I have Windows 7 Home Ultimate, but that should not make much difference. And, not withstanding my Dutch background, I've also an English version of Windows, so that should not be a factor either. (...) although, as a matter of principle, I removed 3.1.1 first which may, or may not be relevant. After a few failed attempts to install 3.2, I've also removed the old 3.1 version. That did not help. My Windows 7 PC is relatively new. Does not contain (yet) an overload of software. See ATTACHMENT. Nothing out of the ordinary, I should say. By the way: I installed 3.2 on two other PC's (both Vista, 32-bit) without incident, superseding the 3.1 version. Given your experience that the 64- bit does not seem to matter, plus that the 7 in windows 7 does not matter as well, I'm at a loss what really goes wrong in my case. -- -- Jan van Hoek (NL) -- Tue 23 Mar 2010 01:11 uur - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
