There is no exe anywhere. When I open the cabinet that says openofficeorg1, here's what else I see

What did I do wrong? I re-installed it, but that makes no difference.

I did a search at the openoffice site, and found nothing. And I am really not sure what I'm looking for.

I'm running xp sp3.

Thanks youse guys

when I double click set-up the install wizard opens again and installs everything. but no exe. that's where I downloaded it from.
I'm going to uninstall the whole thing and try it again. But, I am not at that computer now for a few days.
Thanks, Mark :thumbsup:

It seems the only difference was the first time I unchecked 'place desktop shortcut'. It opened fine this time.
