installation questions

Hello,
I am new to OpenOffice. I am currently running Windows 7 and was hoping to
use OO Base instead of Microsoft Access when I upgrade my hardware.

With limited knowledge of OO I downloaded and installed using the "typical"
setting. As it was setting up it showed that it was configuring Visual C++
2008. And since that time I'm having lots of trouble. Foremost among my
difficulties is that Google Earth is now failing with a C++ can't find PDB
file error.

I had been using Visual Studio Community 2015. I would appreciate any
information or suggestions on how and what to do to achieve a mutually
compatible configuration.

Thank you!
M. Newton

hello.
but its one advantage of openoffice which i observed.
when i only use writer, i can only install writer, not whole program!
i wish that libreoffice did not remove this valuable feature.
and about visual c, i asked question about the reason that why
openoffice needs visual c and libreoffice not.
i appreciate if someone explane me the reason.
God bless you all.

Visual C++ 2008 is not an optional component.

There is no option to install some of these programs it's just all or 
nothing.

hello.
openoffice by default installs visual c 2008, but libreoffice not.
i realy wish that know its reason.
also, you can use custom installation to select which optional
component you want to install, which feature of program do you need to
install, writer, calc, math, base, draw, impress.
hope that help and God bless you!
