I got mine from http://lukesblog.it/ebooks/ebook-tools/writer2epub/.
There's
a version that words for LO 3, LO 4 and AOO 3, along with a separate
version
for AOO 4.
My problem wasn't that I had the wrong version. I got the version that was
designed for LO. It just wouldn't install as long as I had AOO on my
system.
Once I uninstalled AOO, the extension worked fine with LO.
Of course, I have no idea *why* this behavior occurred. I won't blame AOO
or
anything else. I can't even scientifically say that LO and AOO had a
conflict. I just know that, once I uninstalled AOO, I was able to install
the writer2epub extension into my LO. I recalled someone else on the list
saying that LO and AOO may conflict by sharing common Windows registry
entries. That stuff is beyond my abilities, but I just shared it for
others
who may be interested.

There is a version for AOO, several actually written by a guy with an
Italian country code.
One for version if for 3.x, another for 4.0, and a new Beta one.
So you may need to look into which one you are using for which version
of LO or AOO.
I found this out by Googling "odf to epub converter"
