Description huggi 2001-11-09 19:37:13 UTC 
When unzipping the downloaded install638C_win32intel.zip to a subdirectory, the 
following crc-error appears:

"bad CRC 368e8cb2 (should be 041188c3)."

Using WinZip 7.0 English on a German Windows 2001 with Servicepack 2.

That sounds like a damaged download file. I can't reproduce this with 
a downloaded OOo 638c.
Comment 2 Olaf Felka 2001-12-06 12:42:38 UTC 
Can't reproduce.

This issue continues to be reported. I experienced it myself. I resolved it by
installing Java first, then installing the Openoffice without JRE download.

I have seen at least four other reports of the same problem. Please reopen.

You can't rule out that a download might be corrupted or that an upload to the
mirrors might fail. But it's no a general OOo problem. Without detailed
information e.g. which server/mirror has been used for download there can't be
done anything.

Regardless of whether it's a "general OOo problem", this continues to be a
problem for many users. Hardly a day goes by without at least one more report of
the same issue on the users mail list. As far as I know, the issue only applies
to the OOo_2.2.1_Win32Intel_install_wJRE_en-US package. The "without JRE" is OK.
Comment 6 Olaf Felka 2007-07-09 08:57:29 UTC 
Since the world wide web has a common usability and since downloading is a wide
spread way to distribute files it has always been a problem for users that a
damaged download might happen. So this will also happen to OOo. It's not in our
hand to fix the internet. "As far as I know, the issue only applies to the
OOo_2.2.1_Win32Intel_install_wJRE_en-US package." Im reading this list for years
now. And this happens to all OOo file randomly. As long as you can't determine
the server/mirror where the damaged file is hosted we can't do anything. If you
can name the server please open a new issue.
