Can anybody point me to instructions for:
(1) Associating an icon to a particular file type
(2) Launching the application to which that file type is
associated when the icon is double-clicked
Dan,
Here is some example XML taken from one of my products (it's WiX 3.0,
but should be adaptable for v2):
<Component Id="FileTypes.BSDL" Guid="...">
<File Id="bsdl.ico" Name="BSDL.ico" />
<RegistryValue Id="Reg.Extn.BSD" Root="HKCR" Key=".bsd"
Value="BSDLfile" Type="string" />
<RegistryKey Id="Reg.Class.BSDL" Root="HKCR" Key="BSDLfile"
Action="createAndRemoveOnUninstall">
<RegistryValue Id="Reg.Class.BSDL.Value" Value="BSDL File"
Type="string" />
<RegistryValue Id="Reg.Class.BSDL.Icon" Key="DefaultIcon"
Value="[#bsdl.ico],0" Type="string" />
</RegistryKey>
</Component>
I have my icon for the filetype in an icon file, but you could reference
an exe or dll that you've installed instead.
Regards,
John
