You can probably *install* them both but you may well have trouble running 
them both. If you have the Quickstarter of one running you can't run the 
other. This even applies if the "one" is the regular software installed on 
your hard disc and the "other" is the portableapps.com version installed on 
a USB drive; if the "regular" Quickstarter is running you can't run the 
Portable version. This becomes a real problem if you have multiple users on 
the same machine. I can kill the regular Quickstarter that's running for me 
but I can't kill it for the other users who happen to be logged in but 
inactive (Switch Users in Windows-speak). That means I can't run LO 
(portable or not) if anyone else is logged on to the machine with his/her 
OOo Quickstarter running. The converse is also true: I can't run OOo is 
someone else's LO Quickstarter is running.
