I have tried to install OpenOffice at least five times, every time downloading from the Sourceforge-page as instructed, I have deleted the downloaded files and re-downloaded them, I have re-booted the computer, I have waited a few days and tried it all again. This time when I click 'No', it takes me to the final page of the installation, where it informs me that the installation has not been made. 'Error 1704.Installation of Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - 圆4 9.6161 is currently suspened ' again! This leads me to believe the problem lies there of course, and not OpenOffice, but nevertheless, it seems to only mess with my OpenOffice installation, as I've managed to install other programmes since.Ĭlicking 'Yes' only opens the same error message within a millisecond, clicking 'No' sends me to the next part of the installation, asking me to put in the name of the OpenOffice-user, asks to create a shortcut on the desktop etc. Do you want to undo those changes?' - This message comes from the Microsoft Visual installation programme. You must undo the changes made by that installation to continue.

'Error 1704.An installation for Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - 圆4 9.6161 is currently suspended. The first error message that occurs as I try to install 4.1.0 on Windows 8 is: Same problem, figured I'd bump this up if there hasn't been a solution yet:

Openoffice 4.0.1
