Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 89573
file associations changed
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:26:05 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?
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
agree beta 3.0 loses associations with MS Office files. rolling back to 2.4 solves the problem.
The file ppt file in question (created in 3.0) works fine in 2.4 - no crashes

Set target.
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.
