Upgrade StorageSetting up Zotero/Windows/OpenOffice: report ID 1430766241
I'm working at setting up Zotero with Open Office on Windows 7 and am running into a problem with java integration. I went through the initial installation and received a "could not create java implementation folder" error.
I ended up reinstalling openoffice as per the suggestion on the troubleshooting pages. This seems to have gotten me further--the openoffice zotero plugin for firefox indicates it has installed. When I open up openoffice, however, I do not see the icons that should appear as indicated on the instructions for word integration. (I do however see a bibliography toolbar, with text links for "insert citation" "edit citation" and so on. I have not seen this before, but I wonder whether it may just be the openoffice native biblio toolbar rather than the zotero toolbar.)
I did begin the process of downloading libreoffice. However, given that the download is a huge .exe file rather than a zip or tar and my kazakhstani isp seems incapable of managing the download, this may not be an option. In any case, it is extremely important to me to have integration with openoffice, so I want to keep trying to get openoffice integrated.
For some reason I cannot copy the text from the error report, which indicates I need to exit openoffice in order to install the firefox integration plugin. (I was not running openoffice when this error occurred.)
Error IDs are as follows:
1430766241
1643424118
Can anyone suggest a solution for this?
Thank you.

If the error suggest to close Ooo that indicates a permission issue - either Zotero can't find your Ooo startup folder (in which case try manual install) or you don't have write access - a common problem under Windows, I believe.
I did see that my system was running two instances of Java, so I uninstalled one. That did not seem to have any affect either.
Permissions: this is my own personal computer which runs without any login required, so I think I should have full permissions. Will check.
Will also try manual install, though I did try that before.
Thanks for the suggestions. Still working on this.
Currently trying this with:
Windows 7
JRE 6/30
Firefox 9.0.1
zotero 3.0b3.r10711
zotero libreoffice integration 3.5b3

If you're using Ooo 3.2 I'd pretty much give up - there have been so many inexplicable errors with that version that it's probably not worth troubleshooting.
Also - is there any reason you're using a branch .xpi of Zotero instead of the regular beta version? If you don't know what I'm talking about, you should probably not be using the branch version - just re-install the beta version from the homepage).
(btw. - the file for download from Libre Office is zipped - the .exe you're downloading is a self-expanding archive.)
Will check my branch version. Thanks for the heads up on that. I just followed a link offered on the zotero site that said branch may provide a solution to the problems with OO.
I do seem to have Word working okay, but I will continue trying with OO for now and with LO once I have managed to download it; if no success with OO will keep looking to see if OO resolves its java problems soon.
Thanks for the help.
