[Dropped] Cannot find installation files

Post by Jeff_J »

I tried to update Open Office to 4.16. I downloaded the files. I changed the location from OneDrive to the D:\downloads portion of my drive. (C: only has the operating system.) When I look in that folder, I have three files from today: Licenses, Readmes and Redist. I do not see an installation file and I am currently running 4.1.15 on Windows 11 Pro. Where or how do I locate the installation files?
Thank you!

You would be better off forgetting about OpenOffice and installing LibreOffice instead. There are several good reasons for doing so, some of which are mentioned here: [Tutorial] Considering a Switch from OpenOffice to LibreOffice? Some Useful Information

If you want to persist in trying to install OpenOffice then only download from this location: OpenOffice – Official Download
LibreOffice 25.8.4.2 (x64) installed to Windows 11 Pro. 25H2
Apache OpenOffice Portable 4.1.16 [Portable Apps]
For Java I use Adoptium Temurin JRE LTS Releases.

The installation file for Windows (US English) is called Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.16_Win_x86_install_en-US.exe. You could just search for that file name.
