I looked for NSIS in the OpenOffice  Setup and Troubleshooting forum at  
http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewforum.phtml?f=1 using the search  
function and found what is perhaps your whole error message:

NSIS  ERROR: The installer you are trying to use is corrupted or 
incomplete.  This could be the result of a damaged disc, a failed 
download or a virus.  You may want to contact the author of this 
installer to obtain a new copy.  It may be possible to skip this check by 
using the /NCRC command line  switch (NOT RECOMENDED).

If this is the error message you get, then the  possible solutions are 
supplied in it:
1) run ScanDisk (up to ME) or  Chkdsk (XP)
2) scan for malware using antivirus and several antispyware  programs

3) try downloading  and installing a new copy of OO
