Register Extensions with Basic MSI

[cbarlow]

I'm new to Basic MSI projects since I've always used InstallScript projects in the past. Tried to follow the help file for registering a file extension with no luck. In File Types view, I right click on Extensions and add an extension "zzz" (for .zzz). In the properties, I put:

ProgID: zzzfile 
MIME Type:   

I don't want any verbs beside Open. In the Open Verb properties, I have:

Command Sequence:
Display Name:  &Open with Program 2.1 
Argument: -v "%1" (I'm not too clear on what the argument is for, but this seemed like a good one based on help\forum posts). 

Now in the ProgIDs folder, there's a new item called zzzfile, for which I entered these properties:

COM Class: 
Description: .zzz files are used with Program 2.1 and earlier
Icon file: \program21.exe
Icon Index: 11

I've tried a bunch of things, with no luck. If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Unless your program requires the -v before the "%1", you probably want to take it off.

And in the ProgID section, you probably don't want as long a string as ".zzz files are used with Program 2.1 and earlier" as this description is what appears in the Windows Explorer "Type" column when you view a folder with the Details view.

Thanks for the suggestions. Still nothing.

There aren't a whole lot of options in the File Types view, I can't figure out what I might be missing...

Is the key file of the component that contains these settings the EXE that will open your .zzz files?

Thanks for the hint. The component showed the correct key file in the Key file column, but I needed to right click the file itself and select Set Key File. Everything worked great once I did that.

Thanks!
