Hi.
I have 3.6, 4.1dev. and AOO 4.0 installed together on my mac.

Yes if one or both are fully installed (as opposed to /A administrative
installs) they will interfere in subtle ways.
Actions to mitigate:
1) Disable the Quickstarter for both during installation -- the TDF LibreOffice
and Apache OpenOffice versions will conflict--best if both are off. Done from
AppWiz.cpl and a modify installation of both.
2) Also, only one or the other should have the Windows Explorer Integration
enabled (it provides a thumbnail view of ODF documents) in Desktop or Thumbnail
views in Windows Explorer (Desktop and other folder views). Personally I also
leave that unchecked when installing.
3) Finally, if using the "release" rather than development builds. The Windows
registry will be written with file associations--the two programs should coexist to open
a file type, but only one can be set as the default for any particular ODF or MS Office
format. So keep track of that.
Good luck.

Hi :)
I think it's the same conflicts as between any 2 versions of LibreOffice or any
2 versions of AOO or OOo. Basically avoid having both open at the same time.
That might mean turning off the Quickstarter of both of them.

Are there any known conflicts with having LO 4.0.4 and AOO 4.0 installed on the
same computer? In my never-ending, obsessive (and admittedly futile) search for
computing perfection, I want to try both programs to see which better meets my
techno-needs.
