Have you checked th md5sum ? See here :
http://download.openoffice.org/2.3.0/md5sums.html, there is a link at the beginning of the page for instructions.
Is there any error message ?

midsums? Hmmm. Thats all new to me. I'll check the link U provided and retry and get the msg if any. Is this implying I have a bad download or infected code?
Thanks

That's a possibility. If the exe file cannot be launched, it means that it may have been damaged.

The simplest thing to do is to delete the file you downloaded and try again from
