It occurs to me that my last post was rather severely verbose, so I've decided
to provide a streamlined version for those who don't want to wade through all
that text:

The 3.0 installation process, as it currently stands, is unnecesarily confusing
and is even likely to result in having two versions of OpenOffice
unintentionally (and rather awkwardly) mixed together in the same subdirectory
structure.

You can see my previous post for details, but the key problem is that the
installer incorrectly shows "c:\Program Files" as the installation directory
while actually placing the program's files in two hardwired directories under
the installation directory.

Specificly, the current installation process places the three parts of
OpenOffice in these locations:
"<INSTALLDIR>\OpenOffice.org\Basis 3.0"
"<INSTALLDIR>\OpenOffice.org\URE"
"<INSTALLDIR>\OpenOffice.org 3"
where, as I said, INSTALLDIR defaults to "c:\Program Files".

The problems with the installation process could be solved if the default
installation directory were changed to "C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 3" and
the actual install locations were either
"c:\Program Files\Common Files\OpenOffice.org\Basis 3.0"
"c:\Program Files\Common Files\OpenOffice.org\URE"
"<INSTALLDIR>"

or

"<INSTALLDIR>\Basis 3.0"
"<INSTALLDIR>\URE"
"<INSTALLDIR>\brand"

with the deciding factor between those two options being whether the Basis and
URE directories were meant to be shared between multiple programs or not.
