           Summary: Cannot configure file associations
           Product: systemsettings
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: MS Windows
        OS/Version: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: spinus1 at yahoo.it


Version:           4.0.2-1 (using KDE 4.2.0)
OS:                MS Windows
Installed from:    MS Windows

I want to associate swriter.exe to file type like .odt/.doc. I go to
systemsettings->file associations, select "msword" mime type and then I add a
new application: I must enter manually the location of swriter because KDE4
doesn't know registered application present on windows. After selecting the
application and pressing OK, the dialog for selecting application gives an
error "c:\programs\OpenOffice.org\program\swriter.exe not found"

I've tried with other applications, but the issue is the same!

I've also tried using dolphin/konqueror and clicking on "file->open
with->other...": in this case the native windows dialog appears; I can select
swriter and open the file, but if I select "Always use the selected program to
open this kind of file" the association is not saved.
