Oh okay, I'm sorry for that. I can't reproduce this behavior, because I have not windows XP to test with ... I think we need to wait for a tester with Windows XP which can reproduce this behavior.

Thanks for reporting it anyway!

Kind regards,
Joren

LibO 4.0.2 is available in the "Open With" of my Windows XP 32bit version (and Vista 64bit and Win7 64bit as well).

try upgrading to this version and tell us if you still see that issue.
Comment 6 Urmas 2013-04-16 14:02:23 UTC
Yes, it happens. Most likely it caused by wrong paths in "HKCU\Software\Classes\Applications\<sappname>.exe\shell\open\command" due to the folder name changed during the upgrade.
