Downloaded current (1st week of June) OpenOffice. Installed on WinXP Pro without a hitch. Noticed some minor file glitches that have to do with Office2000. Nothing major though. Then copied donwloaded file onto a CD, to install open office on my WinME backup machine. WinMe had Star Office 5.2 on it - which I deleted first. Then rebooted. After reboot, attempted to install OpenOffice. The setup screen appeared. When I clicked on NEXT, the following error appeared in a small window: Setup has caused an error in SVT641MI.DLL I could also duplicate this by clicking on the HELP button, when I attempted to install after yet another reboot. Problem is more than likely NOT related to Windows specifically, since I could not find any reference to SVT641MI.DLL in the Microsoft Knowledge Base. The WinME backup machine does not, and did not, have any version of Microsoft Office on it - as did my WinXP system.
The installatin problem was directly related to having zipped or compressed all of the previously unzipped files once again, and then copying the single file onto a CD, in order to save space. 1. Space saved was insignificant. 2. Copying the entire program/installation onto a CD for future use without doing anything else to the files - caused them to work on both of my backup systems, from the CD, without a problem. One of these is an XP Pro Computer, and the other one is a WinME machine. Apparently there is an issue with the installation files that won't permit the user to RE-compress or zip them up again? At least not if you plan on re-extracting that archive for use on another machine.
