Installation won't pass check targetfolder screen

Post by fnijkampnl »

Hi

while repairing an Acer laptop with windows vista 8.1, it was reset, I'm trying to install OO 4.1.3

The install is unpacking in the c:\temp dir and continues.
It stalls at the 2nd screen with a title check the targetfolder.

The NEXT button is grayed out.

Changing the folder is not helping

I'm logged in as Administrator. Please help

The default location for unpacking is the Desktop of the Administrator account being used to install AOO.Try unpacking there instead of to C:\Temp. AFAIK, users haven't had access to C:\Temp in any version of Windows after XP.

It's usual for me to do all default at 1st. Leave it as is.

So this install was done more then once from dekstop folder.

This is not the cause.

Checked the reg: no OO found

The built-in update check is stalling.

I guess I'm okay for now.

Thanks anyway folks
