Dear Barbara: Thank you for yours. You seem to have missed my reply to
you on 10 May under 'Incomprehensible Error Message'. You had given me
a
simple sequence, ending 'Click Repair'. I followed the sequence, but on
clicking Repair, got:
'The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is
unavailable' & then 'Enter an alternate path to a folder containing the
installation package in the box below' & then 'The installation source
for this package is not available. Verify that the source exists and
that you can access it'.
None of that made any sense to me & I said: 'My cause seems hopeless
(or
is there a way through that?). TS
Hi Thomas,
I'm not Barbara, but she did in fact respond to this, with:
"The last I know of, you'd gotten information about how to find or
recreate your OOo installation files, and try a reinstall/repair on your
Windows 7/OOo 32. system. Has that gotten you anywhere? Have you been
able to create and later edit another spreadsheet?"
The error message you received when you tried to 'Repair' the
installation indicates that your original installation source files are
gone, so you will need to re-download the Openoffice installation files,
and when that error appears, navigate to the location of the recently
downloaded/unzipped installation files, to allow the repair install to
continue.
Also, as you can now see, in the future, it is not a good idea to delete
those files.
By 're-download....the installation files', do you mean 're-install'? TS
No. You cannot 'reinstall' until you first remedy the problem of the
missing installation files - unless you do still have the original
installer .exe file.
By 'redownload', I mean, go to http://download.openoffice.org/,
redownload the installer for the version of openoffice you have
installed (I thin it was 3.2, right?).
In order to perform a repair install, you wuold then need to extract the
installation files to some location where you can *keep* them
(dbl-clicking on the downloaded installer file will first extract the
files).
But, actually, I do believe that if you just go ahead and run the
installer as if your were installing it for the first time, it will
detect the current installation and prompt you to repair it, so that
might be easier for you...
Please try to help me. I find that re-installing has made all my
files---all---everything---unopenable. I am completely desperate. What can I
do? TS
