 |
|
Hi Everyone,
I tried installing OpenOffice 2.0 (didn't install any version of it before) but I get the "Error 1305" message and the installation stops.
Is there a remedy for it? I've tried searching the registry, playing with the directory names and nothing helps.
I'm stuck and I'm really anxious to try it out.
Thanks,
Shachar. |

We need you to tell us what OS you are using.

Google Error 1305, and you will find your answer there.
Could be a number of things, so you'll have to scan the results to find what exactly you are trying to do.

The solutions are all related to problems with previous installations of OOo.
I've done a fresh install (no OOo before) and got the error message. |

It appeared to be related to the Drive/Directory i was installing from.
Installed it from the root of my windows drive, and it went ok. Go figure  |

Lol. I did google and all I got is your helpful message!
Anyway, making the installation directory readable to everybody did the trick.
(right-click -> properties -> security, and add group everybody with read and execute rights.)

Well, it found more for me, including this one:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/873281/
which states as resolution:
| Quote: | RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, repair or upgrade the Windows Installer Service. |
So Error 1305 refers to a corrupt or defect Windows Installer (or maybe a too old version)
Just for the record.
