SO8 Prod Update 2 installs but wont allow prog to open
I've dowonloaded 120187-02.zip for Windows and installed it on my machine. After an apparently successful update I go to launch Writer (or any programme) to get an error message which reads ...
The application cannot be started.

I Have noticed this on machines that update from update 1 to update 2...the solution is
as follows. Uninstall Update two from Add/Remove programs. Run the add/remove from the add/remove for Star Office, or the installer from the original disk...and choose "repair" option...let it do the repair....then install the update 2 and it will work. I have noticed that you can install update 2 on a new intallation of Star Office, but if it already has Update 1 in...it's messed up and will give this error....
I have also noticed that if you UNINSTALL update 1 first...then put in update 2, it will cleanly install.
This must be a bug...but you'll get it working again following the procedure above

Monday, April 24, 2006I successfully on XP Home and XP Office have gone from Update 1 to Update 2.Did you start the program from the Start menu once before deleting the installation folder?Phil
