[Solved] Please insert the disk:1 ????

Post by ossroy »

While trying to install 4.1.3 from a thumb drive, I get a pop-up titled OpenOffice Installation Wizard saying, "Please insert the disk:1", with OK and Cancel buttons. Hitting OK does nothing and hitting Cancel undoes everything it started doing up to that point and kicks you out. Running Windows 7 on an HP laptop. This is my employer's laptop. I used the same thumb drive and install program successfully on my home laptop.

https://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html

Do not click anything on the Sourceforge page! Just wait for the appearing of the specific download panel:

I want to be able to run it as a stand-alone from the thumb drive so I can run it on any PC I insert the thumb drive in.
