[SOLVED] Installed or not installed?

[A.S.]

I seem to have installed Open Office several times but the Open Office never appeared either on the desktop or in All Programs. It is, however, in Add/Remove programs and I do get the Finish screen with the message that the installation was successful. Also, the program is listed with the other programs in Program (x86) which I understand to be the folder for 32-bit programs.

I've been wanting to use this older version of Open Office 4.1.2 because the German grammar checker works with this.

Maybe you disabled adding a shortcut on the Desktop, or maybe you downloaded from the wrong site. Did you download from the official site www.openoffice.org, which links to https://sourceforge.net/projects/openof ... e/download ? Make sure you don't click on any links on that page. The download will start automatically (in Chrome) or after a message box appears (in Firefox).

Right click on C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenOffice 4\program\soffice.exe and create a shortcut which will be placed on the desktop. Right-click swriter.exe if you want the shortcut to start Writer instead of the AOO suite.
