How do you have LibreOffice installed?

As single user, I find the setting in the installation wizard, when I 
use a custom installation.

That describes the file format, but not by which application it is opened.

What happens, when you double-click a .xlsx file?

Does the msiexec.exe option REGISTER_ALL_MSO_TYPES=1 not work for you? 
Have you generated a log file?
