File Types & My App 1

[astrodestino]

Hi!
I made an app that creates .ale files (example: mysite.ale) and I what I want to do is that when an user double click on any .ale file is to open it with my application.
If I associate the .ale extender with my app it will open without any problems.
What I want to know if is there anyway to create that asociation during the setup process.
Can that be done?
Tnx!

Yes, you'll need to add certain registry entries. Here's an MSDN article on the subject:

and also other articles that dicuss ways to implement it:

.Ale files eh?
Whats next on the list .Beer,.Lager, and .JD ??
And if you add 8 or 9 .ale files together do you get a .pst file?

...if it works dont f*** with it

...if its your fault that its f***ed, say and admit nothing.

I wondered why my Microsoft Outlook kept crashing...
