File types are used to register the a file extension against the application
along with the Context menu commands. E.g. .txt files are normally associated
with notepad. And context menu has a command as 'Edit' for all .txt files.
Visual Studio Setup deployment project refers this as File Types and has a
dedicated editor for it named "File Types Editor".
Anyways, I think I have figured out the solution. There is an 'Extension'
element in WiX Schema that registers the file extensions along with the
commands (using 'Verb' as child element).
Have a look at the WiX help for 'Extension' and 'Verb' elements.
However, there seems to be a bug (or feature is missing) in the Dark tool that
it is not converting these file types into .wxs files.

Hi,
I am new to WiX and wondering if there is any File Type support in WiX or not.
I used the 'dark' tool to convert an MSI package (having file types defined in
it) into WiX source, but it seems that the tool is ignoring those file types or
there is no support for it in WiX at all.
I would appreciate quick help.
Kind Regards,
Muhammad Asim Ghaznawi
