When I click on Install.. I get: "This installation package could not be opened."  Have spent last 2 hrs trying to find help.  So I downloaded the vcredist.exe  and it does not say ' welcome' but rather it give me a choice on page first, "Repair Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Setup    or   uninstall it from this computer."    I am Lost.  About 5 yrs ago I used Open Office on old pc. and we got along just fine.  Help kindly please.
Thanks,
Fran B.

"This installation package could not be opened."
- Maybe because it is corrupted. Download again. LibreOffice 3.5.3 packages are digitally signed, it makes easier to detect file corruption or tampering.

"I downloaded the vcredist.exe  and it does not say ' welcome' but rather it give me a choice on page first, "Repair Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Setup    or  uninstall it from this computer." 
- Yes, because you already had it installed on your computer.
