Associate file with alternate app

[stevefal]

I install content files with a product-specific extension, but the files don't "open" in my product. As xml files, my product reads them but I want the user to be able to easily open them using whatever tool they use for reading/editing xml.

Using AI's file association feature, I see that I can set MIME type and default verb, but it seems that the only program I can associate with is my own.

Is there any way to associate one of my file extensions with, say iexplore.exe?

Hi,

Unfortunately Windows Installer can create file associations only for applications installed by the package. If you want to create a file association for an application already installed on the machine, you can use the Registry page. Perhaps this article will help you.
