OpenOffice 4.1.12 installer fails
Trying to update using
Apache_OpenOffice_4.1.12_Win_x86_install_en-US
which I just downloaded from
https://www.openoffice.org/download/index.html
Running it ...
choosing "typical setup"
reaching "Ready to install" hittingf "Install" button
Then it says:
Please exit OpenOffice 4.1.12 and the OpenOffice 4.1.12
Kickstarter before you continue...
Hmmm ... no such things seem to be running ... And it is a single user
system ...So there is nothing special for me to do, right?
Why does it make this remark?
The only action is presents is the "OK" button.
Hitting it results in:coming back to the normal Installer window, saying
Installation Wizard Completed
The wizard was interrupted before OpenOffice 4.1.12 could be completely
installed
Your system has not been modified ....
Arrrrgh
What's up folks? How to make this update of OpenOffice work?
Regards,
/olle

The advice/recommendations given ... they sound good and relevant.
BUT, alas, my system behaves a little bit differently.
(1) there is no Quickstarter icon in the systems tray. So nothing to
disable that way.
(2) no processes seen in Task Manager that match "soffice*" or similar.
(3) no processes seen in Task Manager that match anything named Open
Office or Quickstarter .
Now, if some functionality for OpenOffice is still active, it must be
lurking behind the curtains, hiding from any reasonable inspection service.
I had to experiment with the OpenOffice Options alternative about "Load ...
during start-up".
I disabled that AOO-option. Close everything. And then tried again. No
difference.
Did the same AOO option setting procedure once more.
... And then it worked
Hopefully I have a fully working (and updated!) system now. Even though the
behavior encountered is not easy to rationally explain.
I can characterize my insights gained, by quoting a line from a song
(written more than 50 years ago):
> *Because something is happening here but you don't know what it isDo you,

Thanks to all

It is actually the Quickstarter, and to close it Open Task Manager (on
Windows 10 click in the area where your start key is) and look for any
soffice processes that are running and close them bye right-clicking on
them and choose End Task on the fly-out menu that opens. Once that is
done re-run the installer and all should be well.
