have MSOffice2000 on that machine.)



currently there are only Beta versions of OOo3 available. The Beta 
builds from Hamburg do not install with any system integration.
This should enable Beta testers to install and remove the Beta without 
any side effects on existing programs.

Thanks, Uwe. Does this mean the file associations page will be in the
installer when the program is released? I just want to know what to
put in the user guides! :-)

I remember a recent discussion somewhere - sorry, cannot find it right 
now. Must ask some people. I'll come back soon with an official 
statement.



now I've found a link to the specification:
http://specs.openoffice.org/installation/filetyperegistration/foreign_file_type_registration.odt
This seems to be not linked from the specs.openoffice.org page, so I 
couldn't find it.


So there will be no File Type Association page any more.
Sys admins and other experts can add parameters to the Setup.exe program 
if they need so.

[documentation-dev] Have you installed OOo3 on Windows?

2008-08-13 Thread Jean Hollis Weber

I've noticed that when I install OOo3 on WindowsXP, the installer does
not show the file associations page. Is this a change from OOo2.x, or
is it something to do with my setup? (I'm not doing a clean install
of OOo3, because I'm keeping OOo2.4.1 on the machine as well; I also
have MSOffice2000 on that machine.)
