Windows ® 98/ME/NT/2000/XP Installation
This section assumes some basic knowledge of Windows ® and is not intended to be a lesson in
Windows ® administration as there are too many variations. The following step-by-step
instructions will allow you to install OpenOffice.org version 2.x and later releases on a
Windows
® -based system from a downloaded image. If you are installing from a CD, you will
not have to unpack the image but, depending upon your Windows ® release, you may have to
copy the installation files from the CD to disk.
The first thing you'll want to do is read through these instructions completely, and use the
OpenOffice.org site to answer any questions you might have. The site contains documentation
for users of all levels, beginner to advanced and is definitely the best place to get information.
All new Windows
® users of OpenOffice.org and even more experienced users should start by e
browsing the FAQs .
Note: If you will be installing OpenOffice.org on a Windows ® PC running NT/2000/XP that will be used by more
than one user, and all users are to be able to use OpenOffice.org (each user logs in separately), please see Multiple
User Environment under Windows® NT/2000/XP.
Note: Should you receive the error code "Internal error 2755. 110" while installing OOo 2.x on XP Pro, you may
use these steps to resolve:
1. Right-click the folder "OpenOfficeorg 2.x Installation Files," Click "Properties,"
2. Click "Advanced," Uncheck the box beside "Encrypt contents to secure data,"
3. Click "Ok." This should clear up the problem.
Checklist for all installations.
