Hi and welcome to the forum!

Have you tried to remove 4.1.14 first?
Any soffice.bin process still running in the task manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc)?

Note: LibreOffice is much more actively developed, you may find it much better. Almost the same user interface. See [Tutorial] Considering a Switch from OpenOffice to LibreOffice? Some Useful Information.

Please add [Solved] at the beginning of the title in your first post (top of the topic) with the 🖉 button if your issue has been fixed.

Make sure you have OpenOffice shutdown Before trying to do the install. Check in Windows Task Manger for any soffice.bin or soffice.exe processes running — if there are click on them one at a time and then click the "End Task" Button. Once they are gone try installing again and see if it works.

To access Windows Task Manager use the keyboard combination Ctrl+Shift+Esc Once the Task Manager window opens click on the 'Details' tab and look for the processes in the listing provided there.

EDIT: I agree you would be better advised to switch to LibreOffice anyway.
