Hello Dave
Thanks for replying.
There is nothing wrong with the install. I just didn't know what
I was doing. I'm an os/2 person and totally out of
my depth with XP. It's my wife's new machine.
The installer left a folder on the desktop containing the install files which
is why I thought it hadn't completed. I suppose I expected the folder
to contain links to the exe files to launch the applications.
If I look in the start menu, well, there it all is, ready to go
and it works!
I'm sorry for wasting your time
Cheers, thanks and a merry Xmas to the troops who wrote it!
Ray Carbuhn
PS wish you had an os/2 version, I still use an early Star Office.

Well,
I end up with an icon on the screen, Open Officeorg 2.0 Install
Its XP, latest M$ poison, install seems not to complete.
Can find writer and excel lookalike in exe list, runs, no linkage to
desktop.
Pls advise
Ray and Doreen
Please explain "install seems not to complete". Do you see any error
messages?
Does "no linkage to desktop" mean that you do not see any desktop icons?
Have you run md5sum on the downloaded (OOo_2.0.0_Win32Intel_install.exe)
file, to determine that the file is not corrupted. If you need info on
obtaining and using md5sum look here:
