I did search before reporting it. OK, probably my searching incompetence. But
you've missed the point (or I have). The main aspect of my issue seems not to
be covered in the issue that this was marked as a duplicate of, or in the
actions that were taken on that, and is not in accord with the reason for
leaving out the integration in the beta. this is that the beta installer, on
this machine, does NOT simply ignore everything and not set up the integration.
What it does is to delete the existing associations for .DOC, .PPT, .XLS and so
on, and replace them by defaults. (The same happens whether I check the boxes
for integrating the MS Office filetypes in the 3.0 installer, or not. It never
does the integration, but it always takes away the existing associations.) So
the upshot is that I can't just go on working as before for production work
with 2.4, because .DOC files and so on do not open automactially in OOo 2.4 any
more, they have gone back to the defualt and open in Wordpad (and .PPT and .XLS
don't open in anything). I can fix this by repairing the 2.4 installation, of
course. But it shouldn't happen. I'd be happy if the 3.0 installer didn't give
me the option of associating MS Office filetypes. I'd be reasonably happy if it
gaveme the option of not doing so (as it does), and if I say I don't want it to
(I did the first time I installed it), it leaves the old associations untouched
(but it doesn't). I'm not happy with the installation process taking away,
without warning, the associations I previously had, without me having asked it
to change any associations.
