Deploying file associations

Hi guys,

I'm a bit rusty in the packaging department after a few years doing other things.  I'm having a drama trying to include a file association in the package I've just created.

I've included the Registry keys under:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\(appname).Document\Shell\Open

Value: Path to EXE

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\.ext

Value: (appname).Document

I'm clearly missing something?

 

Thanks in advance!

Have you seen this:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\

  • Thanks for the help, I think this may be more complicated then I first thought. I believe your answer to be correct however the bigger problem is the fact that this will be installed on 32bit XP and 64bit Windows 7... which seems to be the problem. I will log a new question for it though. - mhouston100 11 years ago
