I don't know why I should explain the same thing again and again. File
association has nothing to do with the file names, as the full path is
used, so it doesn't matter if the executables have the same name. If
LibreOffice doesn't appear in the Open With context menu it means
there's a bug in the merge of SupportedTypes into the Windows
registry, but it has nothing to do with the fact that the executables
have the same name.

Last saturday I installed both OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice in a
clean virtual machine with Windows XP and both entries appeared in the
"Open With" menú.

Having said that, I am not against renaming the executables.
