I've tried this on 2 machines.
1 WinXP and 1 Win7

What i did in both cases was that i used the "open with.." in the context menu of an .xml-file.

Re: add ini file properties conditionally

Am I misunderstanding something?

I mean, as i understand it a component has to be tied to to a file

That essentially means that we would have to include some otherwise irrelevant files (files that our application don't use or need).

add ini file properties conditionally

Is it possible to add ini properties conditionally?

E.g.
Our application has default values for many settings.
I don't wish for these settings to be specified in the ini file unless they're overriding the default values

Closing a particular java applpication

What is the step to close a particular Java application? (launched via java.exe or javaw.exe)

I do not wish to close all running Java processes, just the one for a particular app (during install, upgrade or uninstall)
