Yes if one or both are fully installed (as opposed to /A

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.
I always "disable" the Quickstart option.
In the past, having it active caused issues to updating some of the add
on extensions.
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.
