Which one?  It's not safe to assume there's only one version of the
OpenOffice.org software installed.  This is a general principle that
applies to all apps; it's *never* safe to assume the user will only
have one version installed.  End users won't know they already have
the app installed and when some website asks them to install it, if
they're feeling adventurous, they'll (try to) do so.  Powerusers and
developers install multiple versions deliberately for assorted
reasons.
