It looks like you were expecting to have two versions side-by-side by choosing a different directory. But in fact, no matter which directory you choose, the installer for RC1 (as any installer built with "release" configuration) would *replace* any previous installed release version: it will find those older versions, call their uninstaller in the process of own installation, then proceed. So in any case, installing into "programme\libreoffice7" would normally still result in a single version on your system. This is not the case for alpha and beta installers, that are installed separately. There is a way to have multiple releases "installed" (actually unpacked, but not registered) side-by-side [1]. The "an warning ... that i have to close firefox and windows explorer. this bothers me too": LibreOffice creates several registry keys, installs a system component (visual c++ redistributable) and an explorer extension (a library used for e.g. thumbnail display of ODF documents, which may be used not only in Windows Explorer, but with any Windows-provided file dialog). Another system-wide thing is fonts it installs. Installer internally builds a list of all files and registry keys it needs deleting/modifying; and if some process happens to hold some of them, it notifies you. There's nothing to do here; previously (many versions ago), it simply told that it needs a restart in the end - now we made it to show a detailed list, and that creates questions absent before. With older version not starting - possibly you just need to reset user profile [2]. So the only problem here that I see is to test if the scenario when there's an older version installed in one place, and you try to install into a different place, results in a reproducible problem. Will try to test it ASAP (but if someone beats me here, bit thanks - I'm quite busy now, and I don't see this too pressing).
