Thanks, Andrew; I hadn't noticed this before. My LO 3.4 directory is
still present, but practically empty. This is NOT good behavior if the
user is not notified first. I'll be sure to go back and find your
earlier message and save it, for future use. When there's an upgrade
(as opposed to a patch), I want the ability to test it before abandoning
my old software. Guess I'm fortunate not to have had issues going from
3.4 to 4.0!

Hi Virgil
You have observed correctly. I have just done a test of installing two
version of AOO under Windows 7, and quite correctly, it installs it's
own local cache/store of settings, per version, thus allowing two
copies to work side by side, as long as you create two distinct
install folders (by default I never allow any installing program's
defaults in Windows 7, many known issues with virtual links to folders
etc). And correct in your observation, as well as my earlier supplied
info, LO does not do this, rather opting for a single user settings
store, detecting another install of LO, and uninstalling it, before
installing the upgrade (or possible downgrade). But this is not a bad
thing though, as covered by other respondees.
The link I supplied in my earlier email shows one how to overcome this
issue of LO and a universal store, allowing for two versions
simultaneous and operational on Windows 7.

Andrew
