Patrick ,
Why not using "com.sun.star.configuration.ConfigurationProvider" to
store your global variables ?
I learned from Danny B. and uses it mostyl to store some Pathsettings
who must een remembered by opening and closing some Dialogs.
Your new exention can check if the "data" writen by the previous is the
correct version ?
Give a hint and i can post a small Basic Module to do the job

The scenario is the following : when OOo is started, the extension (which is
written in C++) uses the OnStartApp event to initialize global variables.
However, if the extension is updated while OOo is running, the code and the
global variables are replaced with the ones from the new version of the
extension. The global variables are thus left uninitialized.
More generally, installing an extension while OOo is running may lead to
problems, since the extension may rely on the OnStartApp event to initialize
itself. However, when the extension is installed, the event is not fired and
the state of the extension is inconsistent.
Clearly, there can be a contradiction between allowing extensions to catch
events when OOo is started, and allowing the user to add extensions to a
running OOo and to use them immediately. There should at least a way to tell
OOo that the newly installed extension can be used only when OOo is
restarted.

Could you give more detail (scenario, programming language)? Maybe a

Updating an extension while it is used by OpenOffice.org can wreak havoc

problem ?
