[Solved] Setup is unable to find the file 'setup.ini'

Post by lilleranne »

I recently had to uninstall AOO and tried to reinstall it. I get the message "Setup is unable to find the file 'setup.ini'." I am using Windows 10. Please help. (I don't know what other info to give, so questions, please)

Where did you download the installation package from and did you verify the integrity of the download? See https://www.openoffice.org/download/checksums.html

I downloaded it from SourceForge and from the AOO site. Yes, I verified the integrity of the download. I also tried a few mirror sites with the same result.

Is the file you downloaded an .exe file?

Next question: Have you ever heard of LibreOffice? https://www.libreoffice.org/discover/li ... penoffice/

I downloaded a folder of files, one of which was setup.exe and one was setup.ini. Still got the message that the setup could not find setup.ini.

I have not heard of LibreOffice. I'll look into it! Thanks

I downloaded LibreOffice. It's working fine - a little different, so it will take getting used to. Thank you for the suggestion!
