Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 8689
Installation of v1.0.1 crashes and leaves setup in abnormal state
Last modified: 2003-09-08 16:53:51 UTC
I attempted to install OOo 1.0.1 (I have been using 1.0 for some time.) The setup program crashed on the final step of the installation, someting like "creating local settings", with the error "setup.exe has caused an error and will be shut down. A log file is being created". This crash left the installation in a unstable state and I am not able to use "Add/Remove programs" to remove the installation. It complains about a missing "c:\setup.inf" file. If I try to run any of the OOo program I get "soffice.exe has generated errors and will be shut down . . ." I deleted the installation directory, redownloaded the .zip file and tried again with the same results.
