Mathias, You just made my month...

Sorry, for the misunderstanding. Andrew It's an UL that you can't run two OOo instance at a time, the problem is that two running instances must access different *user* installation directories (user profiles) because OOo doesn't allow a concurrent access to this directory. You always can run a second instance of OOo from the same OOo installation directory by having a second user profile at $URL and starting the second OOo instance with "-env:UserInstallation=$URL". If you don't like the command line hassle you can also have a complete second installation of OOo 2.0 on your machine with its own user profile preconfigured to $URL (instead of the default). To let this installation of OOo know about $URL you must change the "UserInstallation" entry in the file bootstrap.ini/bootstraprc in your second installation to point to this special user profile. Of course this second installation of OOo does not have a system integration (only one instance can have this). To create a second OOo2.0 installation you have two options: Just copy a complete OOo2.0 installation somewhere else(!). On windows you also can install a second copy of OOo2.0 with setup /a.
