Your'e not the only one.
I tryed all the same solutions like you - with the same result.
But the same installation on my laptop running XP SP2 works fine.
If you read the diskussion on Office-groups, there are a lot with that
problem.
Does it give some meaning, that I allready have OpenOffice.org 2.x
installed, maybee not built for Vista???
