The past few (starting with m1 or m2?) versions would not allow their file associations to work on Vista when clicking on their (blank) icons. Nor could I get Vista to accept their file associations to take hold when doing so in the usual manner.
A couple weeks ago, Uwe said on the Documentation list that this is deliberate in the developer builds, and referred to this blog entry:

Now, the extensions manager is useless. Are my problems (plural) unique, or are others experiencing them also?
So far I am having no problems with the extensions manager on either WinXP or Ubuntu.
And I fixed some of the problems on my old Ubuntu setup by renaming the .ooo-dev and .ooo-dev3 folders of user settings (found in XP under Documents and Setting\[username]\Application Data). At least the program opens now! The .ooo-dev3 folder is obsolete now anyway; it's been superceded by .ooo-dev\3. And OOo_m4 recreates .ooo-dev\3. Of course all my settings are gone, but whatever was causing crashes and failures to open seems to have gone with it.
