Scratching around I just found this: OpenOffice Error 1327 Invalid Drive. That might be easier than working with the registry.

My own guess: Windows must have a record of the path to which the previous install of OpenOffice was done. Most likely that path will be recorded somewhere in Windows Registry. If it was me, using regedit.exe , I would search the registry for Keys that have as part of the name OpenOffice and see wha...

I have a suspicion that you might have a 64-bit implementation of JRE in both folder locations. Read the guides again pointed to above and then try the following: (1) Uninstall the JRE you have installed in the location C:\Program Files (x86)\Java (2) Go to the JRE download site and download the JRE...

Forget it. It's all nonsense. Don't you get it: TODAY IS APRIL FOOL'S DAY!

Ha, ha, ha! They got ya!

You have to select the folder that actually contains the JRE. For example C:\Program Files (x86)\Java or C:\Program Files (x86)\JRE [or whatever the name of the folder that contains the JRE actually is]

Try this thread for more help: Troubleshooting Open/LibreOffice and Java

Assuming you are looking in the correct folder you must have a 32-bit implementation of JRE there to suit OpenOffice. The bitness of JRE must match the bitness of the program you are using with the JRE. OpenOffice is 32-bit.

Well I mostly use LibreOffice and like it, though I don't use it with its version of 'ribbon menus', traditional menus for me.
