Problem description: 

Hello,

Until now I have Office and LibreOffice installed in some systems and each application opened its default extensions.

Now, I have uninstalled Microsoft Office and I dont know how to predetermine LibreOffice to open Office extensions.

I need to do through msiexec command to do in unattended way.

I execute the following without success: msiexec /qn LibreOffice_4.0.5_Win_x86.msi REGISTER_ALL_MSO_TYPES=1

The problem is that the msiexec unattended command appears to not working when the product is installed.

However, it works correctly when is not installed. 


Steps to reproduce:
1. Install Microsoft Office 2003 SP3
2. Install LibreOffice_4.0.5_Win_x86.msi without Office file extension association. 
3. Uninstall Microsoft Office 2003 SP3
4. Try to associate installed LibreOffice to open Microsoft Office extensions. To that, run msiexec command like this:

msiexec.exe /qn /i LibreOffice_4.0.5_Win_x86.msi REGISTER_ALL_MSO_TYPES=1

Current behavior:
No noticeable change in the configuration

Expected behavior:
Installed LibreOffice modify its configuration to open Microsoft Office files. 
              
Operating System: Windows XP
Version: 4.0.5.2 release

Please see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60714#c2 and bug 44462.
I am not sure if command line should work when LO is installed, so leaving status of this bug as it is.

Hi mieltxo,
LO 4.0 is EOL at this point. Can you still reproduce the problem with a modern 4.3 or 4.4 build?
