Hello,

I used msiexec tool extract openoffice341.msi file include cab file, then my command worked well in Windows XP OS, however it didn't work in Win7 OS, same error "Please use Setup.exe file initiate installation".

msiexec /a "d:\OO3\openoffice341.msi" /qb targetdir="d:\oo3"

Thanks

It is a long time since I have installed on Windows, and certainly never on Windows 7, but as far as I remember there is a directory in the unpacked install files, which should be on your desktop, containing setup.exe. You may also need to log on to your computer as Administrator, or use an account with full Adminisdtrator rights, and after such log on, right click on the Install folder and select "Run as Administrator".

Hello,

I logon by Administrator user, however also couldn't setup, same error message.

Thanks

Victor
