OpenOffice.org must be told to use the registry. Close all OpenOffice.org parts, including the Quickstarter that runs in the Windows task bar. Edit the file uno(.ini|rc) in <OfficePath>/program as follows:

 [Bootstrap]
 UNO_TYPES=$SYSBINDIR/types.rdb $SYSBINDIR/<your_registry>.rdb
 UNO_SERVICES=$SYSBINDIR/services.rdb $SYSBINDIR/<your_registry>.rdb

For details about the syntax of uno(.ini|rc) and alternative registration procedures, refer to the section Deployment Options for Components. If OpenOffice.org is restarted, the component should be available.
