Re: [libreoffice-users] Parallel Install 7.2 +7.3

It is the last line of bootstrap.ini that needs to be modified. This is 
something that I have been doing for a very long time. This is the line:

               UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/libreoffice/4.

Since I am using Ubuntu, this is in the bootstraprc file. What I have 
been doing is to change the 4 to the version including major changes. 
For example, this is the line I use for 7.3.1.3:

               UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/libreoffice/7.3.

For the 7.2.6.1, I use 7.2 instead of 7.3. This allows me to set the 
properties for these installations completely different. For example, 
one was used to open an embedded database while the other was used to 
connect to an HSQLDB version 2.+ when I needed to do so. Even so, I 
would not guarantee the results on windows since I have stopped using it.
