Not sure how far down the rabbit hole you'd like to go, but the simple truth is
that full installs of LibreOffice 3.x and LibreOffice 4.x use identical
components of Microsoft Windows registry and system paths and are mutually
exclusive.
One can happily run multiple versions of
I think Win7 may think LO 4.x is the upgrade to 3.x and decide that to
install the newer version it must uninstall the older one. I have
