Obviously the .msi thing only applies to .msi installers, that was my error for which I apologize. With reference to a clean install, the fact remains that you have been battling this fault for several days, a clean install, despite the pain, would be a distant memory by now. That is my personal opinion, not Microsoft's, they disowned me long ago, in any case MVP's have nothing to do with Microsoft, although the award is issued by Microsoft, it is awarded for helping, or in this case trying to help, others. It is good that I can at least allow you to let off steam, it is better out than being kept bottled up, no matter how hard it seems to solve the problem, it will be resolved in your favor eventually, one way, or the other.
Still pursuing the Access Permissions side of things you can try this if you like.
This example might or might not work for you with your program?
"It seems that the "Run as administrator" command only gives you some administrative privileges, and they're not enough to install Java (and OpenOffice, by association). In order to get around this, you need to actually log into an administrator. Open a command prompt with admin rights by clicking start, typing cmd into the search/run box, and hitting CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER. At the prompt, type:
net user administrator /active:yes
Then log out of your regular account and back in as the administrator, where you should be able to install the program. When you're done, log back into your regular account and, for security purposes, disable the administrator account using:
net user administrator /active:no "

See if this program can tell you what is going on with the Office failure to install.
