             Bug #: 53417
           Summary: : File propertyhdl.dll not installed when installing
                    or upgrading to 3.6.0.4
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 3.6.0.4 release
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
 Status Whiteboard: BSA
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Installation
        AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: charles.fuller at btinternet.com


Problem description: The file propertyhdl.dll is not copied to the directory
"Program Files\LibreOffice 3.6\program\shlxthdl" when version 3.6.0.4 is
freshly installed, or when upgrading from version 3.5. (Two computers, similar
problem with both.) The Windows registry CLSID
{AE424E85-F6DF-4910-A6A9-438797986431} "LibreOffice Property Handler" specifies
that the file should exist, and this CLSID is named in other registry entries.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Upgrade a 3.5.4 installation to 3.6.0, or uninstall 3.5.5 and install 3.6.0
2. Run any registry-integrity-checking program (such as Symantec's WinDoctor)
and the absence of the file will be highlighted.
3. Since the file:
- is delivered in both 32-bit and 64-bit formats;
- was installed in earlier versions of LibreOffice;
- and is called from several locations in the Windows registry and is
identified as the "Property Handler" for LibreOffice files (see below)
its absence prevents Windows Explorer and Search from accessing the file fully.

Windows Property Handlers: The page

gives a good explanation of the purpose of the file.
