But, basically, this is an LO problem. Tell them about it.
Try this with FireFox or Thunderbird and you will get the same result.
In fact I have not found any portable app that allows a second
instance of the program to run if the installed version is running.
There may be some that do but I believe if the program will not allow
two instances of the same program to run at the same time, regardless
of installed or portable, then it will not run one from each.

I'm not complaining about two copies of the same program - Firefox or
Thunderbird in your example. I'm saying LO won't run while OOo is
running. These are *not* [supposed to be] the same program.
But they are, at the core, the same program. I can not run installed
versions of LO & OO at the same time. Remember, LO is a fork of OO and as
such the core is the same.

Yes, but my point is that they should by now be differentiated.
