problems installing Free Office 2024

Post by AZwart »

I have Free Office 2024 installed on my laptop and I am very satisfied. Now I want to install the program on my Windows 11 desktop but it gives some problems. I have downloaded the msi file. When I start the install I get the following message: 'The feature you want to use is on a network resource that is not available'. The msi file is in Downloads on C and I want to install on C. Please, can anyone help me.

This message comes from Windows Installer: it is looking for the setup file of a previous FreeOffice installation, which is no longer in its original location. Please try the following:
  1. Download the current FreeOffice installer again from the FreeOffice download page and save it to a local folder, for example your desktop.
  2. Right-click the file and choose Run as administrator.
  3. If the message appears again, run Microsoft's Program Install and Uninstall troubleshooter, remove the old FreeOffice entry with it and then start the installer again.
If the installation still fails, please post a screenshot of the complete error message.
