Several BIG problems installing SO8 update 6 for Windows

Here's my most recent experience trying to update StarOffice 8 for Windows (I'm running Windows XP with latest MS updates and just updated Java to 1.6.0):
1. Went to the StarOffice/Sun site and after clicking on about 4 links to find the update, was presented by a login screen and after I logged in, had to go through another 3 links. Not smooth.
2. Selected the Signed update 6 for SO 8 for Windows patch and downloaded that.
3. Double clicked on the signed patch where upon the I saw the message:
Invalid or corrupt jar file
4. Downloaded it again, same result.
5. Tried downloading the unsigned patch. Double clicked on that and it started up (looks promising).
6. At one point in the install I see:
The destination folder specified belwo does not contain a StarOffice 8 version.
The folder is: C:\Program Files\Sun\StarOffice 8\
Note, I've been running SO8 for a while now so I know that it is in fact installed there (isn't this the default install location?). So now what?
As an aside, this has not been a smooth update experience esp. since I also own a Mac and thus have experienced what updates should be like.

1. Went to the StarOffice/Sun site and afterclicking
on about 4 links to find the update, was presentedby
a login screen and after I logged in, had to go
through another 3 links. Not smooth.I keep the update site bookmarked--updates are
regular and while the SO8 are readily visible, the
ones for SO7 are not.
Using the bookmark means that when there is an update
to download, I quickly sign in then use the bookmark
to quickly return to the download site.Sure, but my point is that with a well designed site one would not have to wade through so many links the first time.

I always use the unsigned patch.Why not use the signed patch? It should provide more security.

that it is in fact installed there (isn't this the
default install location?). So now what?My updates have been smooth with StarOffice. The
only thing I can think of is that your failed
installs corrupted something. I would try selecting
the folder and see what happens.I tried selecting the folder and the unsigned patch said that it could not find a program to patch.

Is anyone having problems downlaoding new update for window

Is anyone having problems downlaoding new update for window

You ought to be very pleased with that MacBook. 16 GB memory and a 512 GB SSD is a very robust configuration that should serve you well for many years.
Mavericks runs extremely well on a MacBook Pro with a quarter that amount of memory.
Since Mavericks is free it doesn't really matter if it or Mountain Lion is installed when you buy it. You really should purchase Macs from the Apple Store since they won't be any cheaper anywhere else, and that is the only way to buy one with absolute assurance it has not been misused or improperly stored.
You can order a Mac configured with custom options on a Sunday evening and it can be on your desk that Wednesday morning. Shipping is free.
I have no idea why anyone would by a Mac from anyone other than Apple, but they do. Complaints from those who buy Macs from "big box" resellers appear on this site in disproportionate numbers, for reasons that are not clear.

I have installed all updates for Windows 7, but I still cannot open a pdf. Something is missing.

I'm at a loss as to why this doesn't work. I can't download a page, much less print it. A window keeps popping up saying "missing the file to open". Doesn't say what file or where to get it. Was not having this problem before I updated Adobe. I can't print my Christmas mailing labels nor my medication list, etc. HELP this old lady please!

Try saving the file to your local computer (to the desktop, for example), and then open Adobe Reader itself and open the file in it directly (via File - Open). See if that works for you...

any ideas most appricated.

hiya!
"The wizard was interrupted before Quick Time could be completely installed. .... The system has not been modified. To install this program at a later time run the installation again.
for that one, first see:
iTunes for Windows installation quits with 1607 error, while publishing product information, or is interrupted
(although the article is about an itunes installation error, the same underlying cause(s) is/are afoot with your QT version of this error message.)

Problem installing Audio Drivers for Windows XP on G550

Definition Update for Windows Defender - KB915597 (Definition 1.169.2328.0) will not install.

I've been going around in circles for hours now trying to figure this out, but I now officially give up. I have no idea how to fix this. So I came here before I chuck my laptop across the room.
Whenever I try to install the definition update, it fails and says "error found. Code 80070002 windows update encountered an unknown error". I've tried to fix it using the
Windows Update troubleshooter, but it can't fix it. Also, tried to follow some manual fixes, but none of what they say to do exists on my computer (like files and such). Help!
I have a Sony Vaio, Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium edition.
I also installed the System Update Readiness Tool as a last ditch effort to see if it would fix it. It didn't.
Thanks for your time.

Hi,
I aggree with Hetti.
In Windows 7, Windows defender only removes spyware, but to protect yourself from viruses, you still need to download antivirus software, such as Avast Antivirus.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/securitytipstalk/archive/2014/01/16/do-i-need-anything-besides-windows-defender.aspx
To install the update for Windows Defender, i recommand you to fully exit Avast and manually install the update.

I have tried several times to install iTunes update 11.1.4 on my PC. I get a message saying that install was not successful and an error message of MSVCR80.dll not present, Error 7, (Windows error 126). I am told to reinstall iTunes, but nothing changes

I have tried several times to install iTunes update 11.1.4 on my PC. I get a message saying that install was not successful and an error message of MSVCR80.dll not present, Error 7, (Windows error 126). I am told to reinstall iTunes, but nothing changes. What next? I've not had this problem with other updates requested by Apple.

I have also had the same problem with my Win 7 32 bit computer. I had great help from Apple techs in Montreal and Orlando for 2.5 hours. They helped me remove every trace of Apple products and clean the registry in two different ways. Each install gave the same problem! If Apple techs can't fix it (on some of our machines) then we are really in trouble. They promised to raise it with the "engineers" and get back to me with a solution. I am waiting and hoping. Otherwise maybe version 11.1.5 will have a fix ??

After installing the safari update for windows, outlook is now not opening email hyperlinks. I have set safari to be my default browser but outlook won't open it when I click a link. I get the following message: "This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator." Please help.

Hi mcclausky, you may need to manually remove a policy setting from the registry. You also should scan for malware that might have created this problem.
This article lists scanning and cleaning tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
To check your Windows registry for policy settings that might affect Firefox or other programs, I suggest consulting a Windows forum or Microsoft's forums. For example:

Here we go again,....iTunes update for Windows 7 fails again same problem as back in Feb update

Why is it that Apple is failing to get it right lately with their updates?
Tried to install latest iTunes for Windows update on my PC Win 7 and it fails again wioth same error messages as with the previous update in Febr.
Sooo very disappointed!!!!!
To go thru all this again is taking me a few hours again to fix this problem assuming it works again this time, maybe I should just give up on iTunes instead.
Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates
really *****,
NE1 have any suggestions for an easy fix?
thanks

First off the automatic install fails nothing happens.
Then tried the manual install after download, get the message that Apple mobile service failed to start and make sure i have required privileges to do so(Total BS)
the SetupAdmin.exe file does not provide any action.
Then right clicked the iTunes6464.msi file and installed it. Seems to install the update but when iTunes starts get the: "error 7" msg with iTunes helper was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. then w're in that **** loop......LOL
I believe this is because I have a 4 yr old laptop with old graphic card.

If you can open the windows files in windows you can bounce the tracks out as audio. Then load them in X
