How do I install OpenOffice.org on Windows?
The installation file for Windows from OpenOffice.org is a self-extracting EXE file. Download the file. Your browser will save the file to your harddrive.
- Locate the downloaded file on your harddrive 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', choose the User Defined setup and change the path.
- For OOo 3.0, the following two folders are created:
'C:\Program files\OpenOffice.org' 'C:\Program files\OpenOffice.org 3.0'
- After installation finished, you can delete the temporary folder on your desktop and the big downloaded file, if you want.
- Start OOo with the desktop icon, or from the OpenOffice.org menu in your Start menu.
