what can be the fix?
Detect that you try to install a more recent version in the same directory with the change of the runtime and handle the situation either by deinstall/install, refusal to install, warning the user, ...
This problem occurs because of the compiler switch in a developer snapshot. So in my naive understanding the fix can be only to switch back to the old compiler. Is this a solution?
No, I don't think this is an option.
This problem does not exist when you update from BEA1 to BEA2. It is only when you switch from versions older than m7 to a newer build.

So when a user install the Beta first, he will never have this problem.
The point is that I would like to avoid that this problem hits the (potential) Windows users of the Beta (or later snapshots/finals).
Reading the issues again I understand that- there is a requirement to run the most recent stable (2.4) in parallel with 3.0 beta
- the 3.0 beta installation process doesn't start a deinstall- the problem occurs *only* if an earlier snapshot built with the old compiler was installed in the same target directory
Should this be the case a limited number of the courageous users of developer snapshots would be affected.
Greetings Stefan

I think we should ensure that we can easily notify and update users of developer snapshots including OOo 3.0 Beta. So for me this is a showstopper.Thougts?
