Re: Problem Downloading Open Office

Dave, be that as it may, a party like Apple or Windows can still make false claims that the software comes from an untrusted site and thus prevent it's installation. Alas, this is part of "software wars" and it will only get worse unless legislators take steps to prevent it. On 10/4/19 11:35 AM,

The downloads on sourceforge are the ones that are created by the Apache OpenOffice project. Matthias is the one who currently creates all of the Windows builds as a volunteer. We are all volunteers and SourceForge has generously donated to our community hosting for well over 250,000,000 millio

Re: Problem Downloading Open Office

Don has a very good point. I think OpenOffice should stop using sourceforge.net because sourceforge does NOT check to see if the software projects it hosts are malware free. In addition, Apple is invested in selling MS office ported to the MAC-OS. So, I think Apple's code that rejects SW downloade

Re: Problem Downloading Open Office

Oops.  Are you referring to the Mac not wanting to install software not downloaded from the Apple Store?  What you need to do depends on what error message you get from your Mac. You can disable the Apple gatekeeper by opening a Terminal Window on your Mac; typing:   sudo spctl --master-disable

Problem downloading Open Office.
