I am using wix-3.7 on windows7, to associate my program (Compass.exe) with file-names ending in galileoGlobalProject.
I can build the msi and install it, but double clicking a file raises error dialog: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." How do I populate the correct path to my program? Details: Heat generates my list of files using the following syntax: heat.exe dir dist -dr INSTALLDIR -cg group_ProductFiles -alias .\ -norootdirectory -ext .WXS -ext .wixobj -ext .wxi MyProgram.resource_list.wxs The auto-generated section is as follows: <Fragment> <ComponentGroup Id="group_ProductFiles"> <Component Id="cmpAE06573553A70385366B99F6F873F4C4" Directory="INSTALLDIR" Guid="4BED1A2F-C6A6-41DE-9642-B5058D915837"> <File Id="fil295766B9BCB62F1C1108682A4BF39B04" KeyPath="yes" Source="$(var.dist)\Compass.exe" /> </Component> </ComponentGroup> </Fragment> I add this to the Project element: <Property Id='FileAssociationProperty' Value="[group_ProductFiles:Compass.exe]"/> I try to use the TargetProperty in a Verb in order to create an Extension in a ProgId: <ProgId Id="CompassgalileoGlobalProject" Description="Galileo Global Project" > <Extension Id="galileoGlobalProject" > <Verb Command="Open" Id="open" TargetProperty="FileAssociationProperty" Argument=""%1"" /> </Extension> </ProgId> After installing I search the registry for my extension HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.galileoGlobalProject (default) REG)SZ CompassgalileoGlobalProject HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CompassgalileoGlobalProject\shell\open\command "[group_ProductFiles:Compass.exe]" "%1" HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.galileoGlobalProject HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CompassgalileoGlobalProject\shell\open\command "[group_ProductFiles:Compass.exe]" "%1" HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.galileoGlobalProject\OpenWithList (value not set) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.galileoGlobalProject\OpenWithProgids CompassGalileoProject REG_NONE (zero-length binary value) Have I done everything right? My previous post got no love, so I'm trying to rephrase the question. NOTICE: This email may contain confidential information.
