Thanks for the response.  Is there a preferred version (other than the 
archived) that I should be using for installation? Also, I notice there is only 
one directory, openoffiice4, versus two (openoffice3 & openoffice.org) in 
previous versions. Is this by design?

The archive version is for testing mainly and it stores the user directory 
inside the installation itself to avoid conflicts with the normal user 
directory of other installations.

This is correct and intended, if you want install an archive version manually 
in your system you have to change the user directory as Andrea has already 
described.
