Description cholzhauer 2013-04-05 11:53:36 UTC 
Running OpenOffice 3.4.1 on Server 2012 x64 with Outlook 2010 x64 installed.  Any OpenOffice product is unable to use the "send file in email" function because OpenOffice will not see the 64bit Outlook client.

the msdn link explains the situation very well:

further would it still work if sendoc.exe use only MAPISendMail calls but I see MAPILogon and MAPILogoff calls too.

So sendoc needs to be compiled as 64bit application and setup must deliver it only on 64Bit Windows systems. I don't know if it's possible to install 64bit apps together with a 32bit programs, because 64Bit Windows uses different directories for these.
