RE: [libreoffice-users] Bug 62303 - Enhancement request: Set default install folder under Windows to \LibreOffice\

The Wiki notes on doing the administrative installation are at this link., Along with  a link to 
Florian Reisinger's LibreOffice Server Installation GUI  extension for doing parallel 
administrative installs while avoiding Windows command line and msiexec.exe.  Currently for Windows 
OS's only.

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel#Administrativ_Installation:

Florian will have to address any issues of a non-versioned default installation folder on his 
installer extension. But should not be much of a problem.

Dan,

Would cause no change for Windows OS installations.  You'd still have to do msiexec.exe /A 
administrative installation each of which registers its own LibreOffice user profile and minimal 
Windows registry entries. So, you can have one "full" installation,  and multiple functional but 
not fully integrated /Administrative installations. Just as it has been.

      Just a question: How will this change affect installing multiple
versions of LibreOffice?
