For my installshield project I need to associate file types with one of my applications. I achieved this in the advanced settings of the application component.
I added my progIDs and my extensions. I added three verbs for each extension: Plot (with the argument /F%1 /P) Open (with the argument /F%1) Print (with the argument /F%1 /H)
The installation works fine on a Western European, US Operating system. Registry keys set to: Open "C:\Program Files\My Company\My Application.exe" /F%1 Plot "C:\Program Files\My Company\My Application.exe" /F%1 /P Print "C:\Program Files\My Company\My Application.exe" /F%1 /H
However when installed onto a Korean Operating System the registry keys are currupt: Open "C:\Program Files\My Company\My Application.exe" /F%1 /P Plot "C:\Program Files\My Company\My Application.exe" %1 Print "C:\Program Files\My Company\My Application.exe" /F%1
Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Should I do this sort of thing in a script - would that be more reliable?
After a few frustrating attempts to find the problem, I realised that the arguments I had set for the verbs (and subsequently updated as requirements change) - the strings were not updating for all languages :eek:
So if this sort of thing happens to anyone else - check the string table for the arguments / verbs to ensure that they have updated for all languages required in the installation project. 😮
