| Corrupt or incomplete installation or download</H1> |
| <P CLASS="western">When attempting to download and install |
| OpenOffice.org, users will occasionally receive an error message that |
| the downloaded package was corrupt. Additionally, other problems |
| make occur during installation.</P> |
| <P CLASS="western">The first step is to reboot the computer and try |
| again. If the download did not take too long, try downloading again, |
| particularly if the error message is that the downloaded package is |
| corrupt. If downloading is a long process, try using that |
| installation package again.</P> |
| <P CLASS="western">If the download completed but installation did not |
| complete, disconnect from the internet, turn off any virus scanning |
| applications and try the installation again.</P> |
| <P CLASS="western">If the computer's operating system is Microsoft |
| Windows, you may need to check Add/Remove Programs and attempt to |
| uninstall OpenOffice.org if it appears in the list of installed |
| programs.</P> |
| <P CLASS="western">There have been reports that installation issues |
| have been solved by upgrading the Windows Installer. Go to |
| <A HREF="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/">http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/</A> |

| Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility may also be helpful. At this |

| This utility can be used to remove installation information for a |
| program, such as OpenOffice.org.</P> |
| <P CLASS="western">The download file itself may actually be corrupt. |
| The best way to check this is to compare its MD5 checksum with the |
| published checksum for the package. More information on MD5 can be |
| found at <A HREF="http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/using_md5sums.html">http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/using_md5sums.html</A>. |
