Please see this FAQ.

Which OS?, which resources?, where did you get your installation files from? Screenshot from error messages. Older versions can be found at Index of /libreoffice/old but it is quite unusual that installing x.y.z requires software x.y.w so I assume another problem.

@anon73440385: this is quite usual problem with Windows - so have you taken a look at the FAQ I mentioned? The said problem has its section (5) there.

I have installed for years on Windows but never faced this problem - so take my comment as my personal experience.

I have now downlaoded the old file but it is still not working when I point the file source to it

Have you looked through other options in the FAQ? E.g., there’s a tool by MS to fix installer errors.

By the way: please delete this answer, and move its content into the question itself: answers should answer the question, not provide missing details. Thanks!
