the folder, to which I was referring, is the folder where you saved the downloaded program; this is the last thing to close before installing the program.
Sounds as if you downloaded/partially downloaded a corrupted file for whatever reason; delete. Then re-download the program - and while it is downloading - saved to wherever (as the Download folder) - do not use your machine; take a break for those few minutes. For the same(?) reason programs like to be alone when installing, they tend to download better that way as well ;-) Hoping this helps, From: tjphipps <tjphi...@compwrx.com> Date: Wed, Sep 24, 2014 at 4:00 PM Subject: Re:[Spam Whitelist IF Valid] Re: [libreoffice-users] To: anne-ology <lagin...@gmail.com> there is no folder to close, when i click on the file the message immediately pops up say-- windows installer-- this installation package could not be opened. verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor and verify this is a valid windows installer package. use ccleaner on a regular basis. i use avast free version and run it regularly as well.

If not, then try emptying the cache - as with CCleaner If still not, then make sure the machine has not somehow picked up some virus, Hoping this helps, From: tjphipps <tjphi...@compwrx.com <http://index.html?_n%5Bp%5D%5Bmain%5D=win.main.tree&_n%5Bp%5D%5Bcontent%5D=mail.compose&to=tjphi...@compwrx.com> > Date: Wed, Sep 24, 2014 at 12:22 AM Subject: [libreoffice-users] To: users@global.libreoffice.org <http://index.html?_n%5Bp%5D%5Bmain%5D=win.main.tree&_n%5Bp%5D%5Bcontent%5D=mail.compose&to=users@global.libreoffice.org> i am trying to download and install libre office onto a computer that is running windows 7 home premium with sp1. i have tried different servers like google chrome and mozilla firefox and i always get the same error message when i hit run== "windows installer- "this installation package could not be opened. verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify this is a valid windows installer package."
