Hi Simon (and anyone else), Thank you for your response. However, I don't see the extension you are trying to associate with Visual Studio in your example.
Here is what I'm trying to do: We are installing a bunch of legacy files that have a .wri extension. For NT, Win2000, and XP, the extension .wri was associated with Wordpad by the OS. For Windows 7, this doesn't seem to be the case, although Wordpad is included in the OS. So what I want to do is associate the .wri extension with Wordpad when we do our Wix install. It looks like what I need to do is set a bunch of registry keys, but it is not clear to me what needs to be set in the registry.
