[Solved] I just tried to install 4.0.0 and it won't install
I had a stroke and lost my Hearing, Can't remember much, Can't talk very well, I can type slowly, very slowly when I can remember. Can't use my right arm and very little of right leg.
I have been using Open Office 3.1 for some time now and I just tried to install 4.0.0 and it won't install. It goes most of the way and then an error messages pops up telling me that the version can't be installed. I have already uninstalled the older version so now I don't have any version. I need some help with this please!!
OpenOffice.org 3.4.1 Installation Wizard.
A newer version of OpenOffice.Org 3.4.1 was found.
To install an older version, The newer version needs to
be removed first.
OK

Hi and welcome to the forum!
If you launch AOO, what happens?
Don't you see version 4 in the Help dialog?

No,
I tried Start, Search Programs and Files, openoffice and did not see anything but 16 files.

Start TaskManager (Ctrl Shift Esc) and kill any soffice processes shown on TaskManager's Processes tab. Close TaskManager, and without restarting Windows, now try to install OpenOffice.

Can't use Task Manager, have TaskManager Events

If you hit Ctrl Shift Esc as said, you should see a list of processes (can't say if it's the equivalent of Events on my French version). Look at the soffice.bin line and kill it.

And you don't see AOO in your start menu???
In your start menu, if you type for example "writer" or "openoffice", do you get some matches?

At this point, I would clean the registry and reinstall AOO.

Plenty of freewares. CCleaner is often mentioned here.

No idea. I run GNU/Linux.
That should not be difficult to find out. There should be a clean process.
