The installation works fine, until it is starting to finish the installation. I have selected the 
typical installation option and Java 1.4.0 JRE from the installation options. Then at the end of 
the installation the software displays a message:

The instruction at "0x002310eb" 
referenced memory at "0x0[many zeros]0". The memory could not be "written".

After 
installation, when trying to start any of the installed components (writer, calc, draw, ...) the 
program starts loading, but before anything happens it displays this same message. When trying 
to uninstall the openoffice.org through control panel's add/remove programs it displays a 
message:

The installation program cannot find the script file in which...
The file was 
looked in the following directory C:\setup.inf
The installation program cannot be executed 
without this file

When trying to run the setup.exe program again, it displays this 
message:
OpenOffice.org 1.0 is already installed...
Use the local setup program to 
deinstall.

So, I cannot either deinstall or reinstall the software. I downloaded also SUN's 
staroffice 5.2 and it reports the same problems when trying to install.

My system 
information is:
