@Ramon:

please note that the solution for this bug has been found: it is a bug in Java
7 that does not install a Windows redistribuable.
Simply follow the advice in
http://www.openoffice.org/development/releases/3.4.1.html#AOO3.4.1ReleaseNotes-KnownIssues

"Apache OpenOffice 3.4.0 and 3.4.1 support Java 7, which is the recommended
configuration; but (especially on 64-bit Windows) you might receive warnings
about the Java version being defective. In that case, download and install the
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package. [...]"

You need to download and install this file from Windows site:
