Description piviul 2014-05-23 09:27:07 UTC 
I have uninstalled libreoffice 4.1.6.2, I have removed libreoffice folders from program files, I have removed libreoffice folder from user's application data and installed libreoffice 4.3.0 beta1. 
The libreoffice files are not associated to libreoffice programs and libreoffice is not present on the context menu "open with" pressing the right button on ms office files.

After installing libreoffice I expect that I can open LO files double cliccking on it and open ms files choesing libreoffice application from open with context menu.

Furthermore right clicking on explorer when explorer shows a folder content and choosing new, there are no LO programs items in the list to create a new LO file. I expect that all LO programs was in the list.

:(

All these (no association with odf files, no open with for ms office documents, and no document templates) confirmed on Windows XP SP3 - 4.3.0.0.beta1

When you run the installer in 'custom' mode, it asks if a user wishes to associate ms office documents, but not in 'typical' mode.

This beta1 build is not in final release format. It will not make the default Windows file associations.
