Can't get AOO 4.1 to install
Can't get AOO 4.1 to install
I have downloaded Open Office 4.1 twice on my new laptop but neither time will the program open. It just keeps going to a zip file. When I click on that it loads but nothing happens. Advice please.

Re: Can't get OO 4.1 to install
Where did you download it? From the official site (link at bottom of this page)? Are you sure that the downloaded file is complete? AOO will first unpack the installation files from the file that you downloaded, then it will run the install program, if it has sufficient permissions to do so.

Re: Can't get OO 4.1 to install
I downloaded from the Apache site. I don't use alternate download sites as I don't trust them. Too many experiences there. But, I've downloaded it twice. At first it asked me what I wanted to use to open and install and I selected a zip program but it's not working. Don't know what I'm doing wrong.

You should have an .exe file in your downloads folder. Double click that and installation should start.

Yes, I tried that it keeps taking me to an open box where the file should be. I click on that and it looks like it's downloading but nothing else happens.
When I double click it takes me here: C:\Users\USER\Downloads\Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.10_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz\Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.10_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar\

A tar file is a linux compressed file. What is your operating system - Windows 10 as indicated in your Forum .sig, or a version of linux? If so, what distro?

Download again but make sure that the drop-down list shows Windows 32-bit (x86) (EXE).
Please add [Solved] at the beginning of the title in your first post (top of the topic) with the *EDIT button if your issue has been fixed.

Re: Can't get AOO 4.1 to install
The downloaded file "Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.10_Linux_x86-64_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz" is only for some 64-bit Linux systems. It will not work on Windows. The downloaded file for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows systems is "Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.10_Win_x86_install_en-US.exe".

Re: Can't get AOO 4.1 to install
Yes, but LibreOffice and OpenOffice are separate programs

Re: Can't get AOO 4.1 to install
They have very similar functionality, derived historically from the same code base.

Don't hold your breath Seeing the pace at which AOO is updated, it won't be very soon.jalbertini wrote:I will not be installing until there is a Windows 64-bit version

They are still very close. You won't be lost.
