------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Jan 16 19:37:53 -0800 2006 ------- 2.0 has been out for a while now. Perhaps it is time to consider a way of sanitising the registry when upgrading OOo to avoid all the issues people will be having now with opening Office documents since upgrading from 1.x to 2.0? For those not convinced of the need to address this bug, try the following simple demonstration. 1) Install OOo-1.1.4 on a clean system, using the default options for everything 2) 'Train' Windows Explorer ( right-click and 'open with...', select OOo ) and other apps ( eg Thunderbird ) how to open common Office documents. 3) Uninstall OOo-1.1.4. 4) Install OOo-2.0.1, using the default options for everything. 5) Try to open Office documents from Windows Explorer and Thunderbird. Explorer / Thunderbird try to use the old 1.1.4. They're looking in the registry. We should make sure that the registry contains valid data while installing. I have to manually do the following on 20 or so systems every time I upgrade: 1) Uninstall OOo. 2) Open regedit.exe 3) Search for 'soffice'. 4) Delete all entries found. 5) Search for 'oowriter'. 6) Delete all entries found. 7) Search for 'oocalc'. 8) Delete all entries found. 9) Search for 'ooimpress'. 10) Delete all entries found. 11) Install OOo. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
