How do I install OpenOffice on Microsoft Windows?
Download from OpenOffice website (Example for Windows 7 / 10 / 11)
The installation file for Windows from OpenOffice download is a self-extracting EXE file. Download the file. Your browser will save the file to your hard drive.
- Locate the downloaded file on your hard drive and double-click the file to start the installation.
- You will be asked for a temporary folder to extract the files that are needed for installation. By default, this is a new folder on your desktop. You can enter any other drive and folder.
- Next, the files will be extracted to the folder and the Setup.exe program inside that folder is started automatically. Double-click the file named Setup.exe if it does not start automatically.
- A guided installation dialog will begin and will step you through the installation process.
- If you want to install to another drive and folder than the default 'C:\Program files (x86)', choose the User Defined setup and change the path.
- For AOO 4.x, the next folder will be created:
'C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenOffice 4'
- After installation finished, you should not delete the folder with the extracted files, because these files will be required for a repair via Windows system manager.
- Start Apache OpenOffice with the desktop icon, or from the OpenOffice menu in your Start menu.
Install via Microsoft Store (Example for Windows 10 / 11)
Open the Microsoft Store App on your computer and search for "Apache OpenOffice". Alternatively you can go to the Web Store and open the Store App from there.
