AOO 4.0.0 unusable
For my current needs, AOO 4.0.0 is unusable. Unfortunately, the
installation program removed my prior version. Is there any way I can
get a copy of the previous version to install? Will the two co-exist?

The download front page - http://www.openoffice.org/download/ - has,
at the bottom of the Download banner, "Old and legacy version: 3.4.1 + 3.3.0".
(Always archive a copy of installation downloads for this and other
reasons. Under Windows in particular, save the download somewhere
you can keep it *before* you install the product and install it from there.)
I trust this helps.

With and after OOo 2.x (as I recall) _every_ new version of OOo (under
Windows) deleted an older one, if both were installed with system
integration (not admin install).
But my main concern was:
All versions of OOo and AOO respect StarOffice x.x although their
processes are named soffice.exe and soffice.bin as those of OOo and AOO.

IMHO but only for main versions eg. 3.x.x 4.x.x not form 4.0.0 to 4.1.0.

IIRC the installation process was changed with OOo 2.x. Till then a new
version did not delete the old one.
All versions of OOo and AOO respect StarOffice x.x although their
processes too are named soffice.exe and soffice.bin. (Because of needed
file filters, I have SO 7 and SO 8 parallel to AOO.)

IMHO that's not normal for an end user to have two versions, therefore I
think this can be advised.
Yes, disrupting the installation process may be misunderstood (false
expression). Within the whole installation process the first step (I
wrote so) ist unpacking the files in a separate folder. After this the
real installation process will be started. This must be interrupted.

See my other posting.

That's not a server installation, AFAIK (I'm using Linux not Windows).

Are you really advising end users to drop to a command line and call
msiexec with a bunch of parameters? really? Why should the
installation process be "disrupted"?
I never had to do ANYTHING of the above, and I have AOO 4.0
co-existing with older OO.o and StarOffice.
AFAIK Windows provides the ability to run executables as administrator
just with a right-click...

But it needs an update and additions for AOO4. And perhaps division into
several pages.

Can someone provide a tutorial for this process.
I think it would be helpful for some people.

In addition to the mail from Brian Barker.
You must do a so-called administration installation:
After downlaoding the package start it, the files will be unpacked in a
separate folder. Disrupt the installation process. Go to the folder and
start the administration installation with 'setup /a' or 'msiexec /a
openofficexx.msi'.
You get this information with 'setup -h' or 'openofficexx.msi -h'.
If you want to use another user folder you must change this in the
bootstrap.ini (folder 'program' of the installation).
BTW, Google is your friend.
