That is because the beta1 build had a bug: it identified itself using the same
codes as OpenOffice.org (so it replaced an already installed OOo, which was not
the intention). In the beta2 build this has been fixed, it is now a totally
separate product, and can be installed at the same time as OpenOffice.org. This
then has the consequence that one can also install beta1 and beta2 at the same
time, even if that obviously doesn't make any sense.

So, just uninstall the beta1. Whether that will disturb the beta2 I don't know,
but if it does, uninstall it, too, and reinstall it once more. Resolving as
WONTFIX as this is just an unavoidable consequence of an earlier bug that now
has been fixed.

(So yeah, it might have been possible to avoid the problem described here by
using some detailled logic in a custom action in the installer to find out if
there is an OpenOffice.org or beta1 installed (remember, they use the same
product code), and in that do further checks to find out which one it in fact
is, and if beta1, uninstall it. But developing such a custom action could well
have taken a week, and it was better to get the beta2 out quickly than to let
the beta1 be available any longer.)
