Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 50293
Language pack will not install

I am running on an NT box and have OpenOffice version 1.9.104. I tried installing the language packs for chinese and japanese (at different times) and neither would install. I get a message saying "This installation package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package." As you can imagine, once you click ok the installer does not come up.
I solved my own problem. I realized that in order to install the patch you must already have that particular language downloaded to your browser (mine was internet explorer). Once I downloaded the language I had no problem.
seems the problem was wrong procedure in Comment 1.
