cheers rob,
got it sorted in the end
FYI this is my custom protocol handler:
<RegistryKey Id="regCaseFlowKey" Action="createAndRemoveOnUninstall"
Key="nameofmyprotocol" Root="HKCR">
<RegistryValue Id="DefaultValue" Action="write" Value="URL:my
custom protocoll" Type="string" />
<RegistryValue Id="uriProtocol" Action="write" Name="URL
Protocol" Value="" Type="string" />
<RegistryKey Id="DefaultIcon"
Action="createAndRemoveOnUninstall" Key="DefaultIcon" >
<RegistryValue Id="DefaultIconValue" Action="write"
Value="myLauncher.exe" Type="string" />
</RegistryKey>
<RegistryKey Id="regShell" Action="createAndRemoveOnUninstall"
Key="shell" >
<RegistryKey Id="regShellOpen"
Action="createAndRemoveOnUninstall" Key="open" >
<RegistryKey Id="regShellOpenCommand"
Action="createAndRemoveOnUninstall" Key="command">
<RegistryValue Id="DefaultPathValue" Action="write"
Value='"[INSTALLLOCATION]myLauncher.exe" "%1"' Type="string" />
</RegistryKey>
</RegistryKey>
</RegistryKey>
</RegistryKey>
