Description robertaregan 2008-05-17 04:56:50 UTC
After installing the Beta build, my file associations changed (.doc,.xls,.ppt.).
Already had Open Office 2.4 installed with no issues.I had to uninstall the Beta
build before I could correct the file associations.

What has changed? How did you install?
Comment 2 robertaregan 2008-05-17 16:37:03 UTC

Beta was installed on same machine as 2.4; file associations for .doc format
were reassigned to Wordpad (as .rtf) after installing Beta. I never tried to
open existing documents using 3.0, just created new ones from scratch.

@ is: any ideas what might go wrong when installing BEA300_m2? File association
to OOo 2.4 shouldn't be changed when installing OOo3Beta.

is -> dv: please have a look
Comment 5 olafbond 2008-05-23 16:24:00 UTC
agree
beta 3.0 loses associations with MS Office files.
rolling back to 2.4 solves the problem.
Comment 6 robertaregan 2008-05-23 20:32:19 UTC
The file ppt file in question (created in 3.0) works fine in 2.4 - no crashes

Set target.
Comment 14 dirk.voelzke 2010-08-17 12:16:19 UTC
Neither a beta version of OpenOffice 3.3 (build with appropriate beta flag set)
nor the developer build of OpenOffice 3.3 (currently used as beta) will do a
system integration on windows. (Tested with OOO330 m4 developer build)

Closed.
