AFAIK, AOO installer on windows ask for file association, but maybe

It's not. That is the problem at this point.
AOO installer doesn't ask me whether it will open MS office format
files by itself.
If I recall correctly (from when this was changed, years ago), the
installer is set to silently associate .doc, .xls and .ppt files with
OpenOffice if it can't detect that they are already associated to
Microsoft Office; otherwise is ignores them.
Then comment 73 by Olaf in
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=96594#c73
seems to state that the option has been reintroduced... So I honestly
don't know what the expected behavior is as of version 3.4 (and I can't
test the actual behavior at the moment, but I would suggest to try both
a scenario where doc/xls/ppt are already associated to Microsoft Office
and one where they aren't).

Andrea.
