This is happening quite a bit lately. The problem is your
anti-virus program is interfering with the installation of
OpenOffice.org (OOo). There seems to be a problem with the firewall
as well, although I do not understand why.
To install OOo, you need to have administrator rights. Then you
need to disconnect your computer from the Internet. Only then should
you close your anti-virus and firewall. Then install OOo.
At the end of the install, it will ask you if you want to
register your copy of OOo with the OOo web site. This is not required
and involves filling out some forms about your use of OOo. If you
decide you want to register with the OOo web site, click register
later.
After the installation of OOo is complete, restart your
anti-virus and firewall programs. ONLY THEN should you reconnect to
the Internet.
