Bug #: 44463
Summary: Uninstalling Libreoffice removes Microsoft Office file
associations
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: LibO 3.4.4 release
Platform: Other
OS/Version: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Installation
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Hello,
I just nailed down a bug that has been driving me crazy...
I was having a problem where sometimes, but not every time, when I uninstalled
Libreoffice on a system that had Microsoft Office installed too, and the
Microsoft Office (MSO) file types were associated with MSO, uninstalling
Libreoffice (I always uninstall an older version before installing a newer
version) would cause MSO to lose all of its file associations.
I finally figured out when it would occur...
If a system does *not* have MSO installed when Libreoffice is installed, and
Libreoffice is told to take over the MSO file associations, then *later*, MSO
is installed and takes over its file associations, if you then uninstall
Libreoffice, it will remove the MSO file associations from MSO.
If, however, Libreoffice is installed *after* MSO, and is told to *not* take
over the MSO file associations, uninstalling Libreoffice will *not* cause MSO
to lose its file associations.
I hope this was clear.
