[RESOLVED] open with data not displaying correctly

[kleinma]

I use INNO setup for my installation, and I have added code to associate a file extension with my app. It all works fine, except in the open with menu item, no text is displayed for my exe...

I am wondering what registry key is not correct or missing that I don't get the text there.... The icon shows up, and if i click it, it opens my exe passing in the file name as a command line param.. so the only issue is the text not displaying..

Check in your VBP file and set the File Description in the Project->Properties->Make Section

That is what VB uses to set that field in the exe.

The registry key would be HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam\MUICache

this is a .NET application, so I only have a vbproj file and sln file.. no vbp...

and all the reg entries are done during INNO installation, and in the AssemblyInfo file (if you are familiar with that in .NET, its similar to the Make Section of a VB6 app) all fields about my app are filled in.

I will check that reg key though.. perhaps I need to manually set a value during install...

will post back

Thanks that regkey was what I needed.
