Example image (above) shows what happens when I click on a Microsoft Word 2007
file.

Error message: "There is no Windows program configured to open this type of
file."

Actions that produce this error: Clicking on any file type associated with
Microsoft Office.


Theory behind the cause of this error: I recently removed Office 2007 by
deleting ~/.wine. Then I reinstalled it under a new prefix called .MSOffice.
Shortcuts were able to update, however I have not been able to open Office
applications, like Word, by clicking on the Office file, like .doc.

Fail-proof solution: Reformat disk and install Ubuntu 10.10. 

My logic: When I click on a file, wine is looking for the app installed in
prefix .wine instead of .MSOffice.

Interesting wine problem to me! I'd love to figure out why wine doesn't
recognize Office files. I've been trying other solutions with no luck, so I
thought I'd start a new thread.

update 
I tried deleting MS Office related files under ~/.local/share/applications 
No change. 

under my .MSOffice prefix directory, system.reg has the line: 

Code:
[Software\\Classes\\.docx] 1300479084
@="Word.Document.12"
"Content
Type"="application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document"
"PerceivedType"="document"



under my .wine prefix directory if I search .docx and it is not found! :) 

I think I'm close!!!!  [Twisted Evil]

Is this an Ubuntu problem or a wine problem?

This is your problem. You broke configuration and expect Wine or Ubintu to
somehow figure it out?

DO NOT rename wineprefixes! If you start with one, then KEEP it that way. If you
want your ms office in a different wineprefix - RE-INSTALL it there. And do not
forget to remove the original one first.

Are you replying to this thread? Because nothing was renamed.  I think you were
replying to someone else.
