------- Additional comments from [email protected] Tue Feb 17 03:02:16 +0000 2009 ------- Workaround - involves reinstallation via "setup.exe", with special command line parms. Worked for me with version 3.0.1. I had installed MS Word Viewer, and it hijacked handling of .doc files on me. I was running OO (Novell) 2.4.1 and needed to upgrade anyway. My first install of OO 3.0.1 didn't reclaim .doc file handling so I (IIRC) uninstalled it, then did the following procedure: - Launch the downloaded installer (OOo_3.0.1_Win32Intel_install_wJRE_en-US.exe) and it begins by asking where to unpack the files, choose your folder and proceed with the unpacking until it's done. - Now cancel the installer. - go to the folder you unpacked into and drop to the command prompt and execute this command: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- setup.exe SELECT_WORD=1 SELECT_EXCEL=1 SELECT_POWERPOINT=1 REGISTER_ALL_MSO_TYPES=1 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- (AIUI: the SELECT_WORD, etc parms work only for OO 2.4.x, and only REGISTER_ALL_MSO_TYPES works for 3.0.x, but I put 'em all in just to be sure) - Then just proceed with the install as normal. Thx to OO developers for all your work, but removing control of file associations at install time was, um, maybe not your best work : ) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
