There is an option in the Extension Manager to find updates. That is
where I get the issue when I want to install the updates and sometimes
the quickstarter will "block" the update, since you cannot shut down and
restart LO completely with that option enabled. I do not know if it is
still true with the 4.x versions, but it has been at least a year since
I enabled the quickstarter option on my Ubuntu desktop and/or my Windows
laptop.

Hi :)
I have it on for my colleagues to make LO start-up just that bit faster. They pick on
any slightest thing as "a blocker" and slower start-up drives them up the wall.
They really have no clue about adding Extensions and haven't used LO enough to grumble
about any 'missing' functionality. if they did i would add the appropriate Extension for
them. I already do the updates for them anyway.
Admittedly i am not in a perfect position and it's probably not a good idea to
copy me. On my own logins i avoid the quick-starter because there is plenty
else to get on with while waiting for something to open.

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.
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.
