Re: [WiX-users] How to register file type with wix 3 RTM?
Hi, Actually our product is a add-in package of VS. And we just want to register a file type. In other word, there is no exe or file can be used to open file of that type. It actually works before even we don't put actual FileId:). So do you think we should register that file type to devenv.exe of VS? This article explains what is needed to register a file type: http://gergo.erdi.hu/blog/2006-10-08-registering_windows_file_types_with_nsis/ It is for NSIS installer, but it is not hard to figure out even if you dont know NSIS. Just add the correct registry entries and it should work :) - Kim -- *Kim Gybels Software Developer * kim.gyb...@metris.com mailto:kim.gyb...@metris.com Tel: +32 16 74 01 01 Fax: +32 16 74 01 02 * Metris Europe * Interleuvenlaan 86 3001 Leuven Belgium www.metris.com http://www.metris.com/ This message and any attachment are privileged, confidential and contain private information.

Ryan, Where do you have a file with @Id of FileId defined? I register an extension as shown: Component Id=ExeFile Guid=...

[#FileId] is nearly equivalent to [!FileId], except the latter uses short filenames. Notice that WiX includes the double-quotes around the [#FileId] to avoid problems with spaces in the path. There are some warnings in the MSI documentation about [#FileId] only being resolved if the component installing the file has already been installed, so perhaps that has something to do with your problem. --Quinton -Original Message- From: Ryan Dai [mailto:ryan...@hotmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 08, 2009 4:23 PM To: Wix; b...@joyofsetup.com Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to register file type with wix 3 RTM?
