Hi Warren,
the following note is stated on the download page for OpenOffice.org
*** NOTE: For right now, Windows user will have to remove older Beta
and developer builds prior to the installation of the RC because of an
incorrect interpretation of their version information by the Windows
Installer. As a matter of course the stable version OpenOffice.org
1.1.x (most recent: 1.1.5) can be used concurrently.

Uninstalling the beta version makes your life easier.

I would say, knowing quite a bit about Windows Installer architecture
that as a rule, one would always want to uninstall a program before
installing a new version, mainly because the installer is hopeless in
terms of emptying out the registry which usually has "ghost" entries
that inevitable lead to re-installation bugs that it are really
challenging for the novice user to get a handle on. I would say one
should follow this methodology with Windows, even if the program
instructions suggest it should not be necessary. Better safe than stressed.
