mind that if you are going to share your profile among different
versions (which will happen in this case)
I have assumed, that Günter knows to avoid this. The usual way is to
edit the bootstrap.ini file or to call soffice.exe with a parameter ...
yes, formerly I did it by editing the path in bootstrap.ini. (Thanks
Regina, that you confirmed that. In the moment I had no nerves to test
it for myself.)
My first mail was an answer to Juergen Schmidt's question ("What do you
think people will expect...") and I would strongly propose, to
re-implement the possibility to install parallel versions (f.e. with
user defined installation and profiles named by "version n.m"). I will
make an enhancement issue for AOO 4.
Nevertheless there couldt also be an info in the README and perhaps on
the download page.

I've seen QA reports about
instability and, for people who uninstalled 3.4 and went back to 3.3,
broken extensions management: OpenOffice 3.4 has a different extensions
management and, while it will do its best to migrate installed
Thank you, I follow this mailing list and read it too. And that was
besides my own experiences with OOo 1, 2 and 3 another significant
reason not to do any trials with OOo 3.4 until now.
As said, nobody working seriously can afford to loose (parts of) his
work by using a new version because of new bugs. But some of them are
willing to test new versions with copies of the text. And this wouldt
benefit AOO.
