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
Any suggestions? Thanks
The problem is that the msiexec unattended command appears to not working when the product is installed.
msiexec /qb! /i LibreOffice_4.1.2_Win_x86.msi ALLUSERS=1 CREATEDESKTOPLINK=1 REGISTER_ALL_MSO_TYPES=1
msiexec /i LibreOffice_4.1.2_Win_x86.msi ALLUSERS=1 CREATEDESKTOPLINK=1 REGISTER_ALL_MSO_TYPES=1 /passive /quiet
…
However, it works correctly when is not installed.
Thanks for clarifying. I had a bad feeling that might be the situation. All I can suggest is that you raise a bug and include these details as well as indicate your specific case (i.e., MSO was installed, now it is removed, how do I use msiexec to associate MSO file types with LO). I have no idea whether this will end up as an enhancement request or a bug. If you do raise a bug, please report the number back here. Thanks.
Forgot to add that fdo#44462 (Provide a proper ‘File Association Manager’ for the windows version of Libreoffice) will be related if the request is seen as an enhancement.
On Windows Explorer select the .doc file you want to open by default with Libre (single click) and right-click it. Select ‘Open With’ and select ‘Choose Default Program’, Select ‘LibreOffcie Writer’ and Tick the option ‘Always use the selected program to open this kind of file’. This will do a permanent association for you.
The same can be done for other file extensions.
Original question included “I need to do through msiexec command to do in unattended way” which means the requirement is likely for many multiple installs e.g., a corporate environment. Manual adjustment per workstation is not appropriate.
