--- Comment #17 from [email protected] 2011-10-23 07:20:01 PDT --- Paul, Tor, Fridrich... I noticed when installing libreoffice 3.3.2 (my first with Libreoffice) on top of OpenOffice.org (GOoo actually 3.2) that the paths in the registry were not updated by the LibreOffice installer. I manually edited all OpenOffice and Sun Office entries in the registry (regedit) to point to the Program Files\LibreOffice 3\ directory, and I was thereafter able to find swriter, scalc etc in "Open with" after a right click. Double clicking on odt files then also started working. My windows version is some build of XP SP3. After installing Libreoffice 3.4.3 (LibO_3.4.3Win_x86_install_multi.exe) I found that now references to the \LibreOffice 3\ path had not been changed to \LibreOffice 3.4\ which was the new directory in \Program Files\. I copied all the file/directories from \LibreOffice 3.4\ this time to the still extant but almost empty \LibreOffice 3\ directory .. and once again things began to work again, although when starting LibreOffice, some functions seemed to have been disabled. In the directory setup (after starting sOffice) I found only \LibreOffice 3\ directory references. I thus speculate (reason?) that the cause of this bug (in Windows) may partially lie with the installer not correctly building or updating registry entries if a previous version of Open or LibreOffice exists. I hope this contributes a potential line of investigation, and is not just a waste of time.
