Unfortunately the server for this list strips attachments, so we can't see the picture of the error message. It sounds as if your downloads are being corrupted. To confirm this follow the MD5SUM checking instructions on this page: http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/using_md5sums.html For the current English Windows file OOo_2.0.3_Win32Intel_install.exe the checksum is: 4ca876df0c73e37ccb6b83da79dc7813 If you are getting corrupted downloads try downloading from the local Australian mirror http://mirror.pacific.net.au/openoffice/stable/2.0.3 rather that the random server provided by the OOo download page. If you are not already using a download manager take a look here: http://download.openoffice.org/2.0.3/downloadtools.html If your downloads are not corrupted, do you have a previous version of OOo installed? If so, have closed the quickstarter icon in you taskbar tray, before staring installation? Do you have an anti-virus program running which might prevent OOo from installing correctly?
