File association mangled in explorer "open with" menu

Tue May 09, 2023 1:44 pm

Heloo,

AFAIK I do not specifically set a different file other than this:
FileLink_AIP_A.png
FileLink_AIP_A.png (17.34KiB)Viewed 4683 times


after installion on a clean machine, the file association works as expected. BUT ...
The "Open with" menu looks like this:
FileLink_AIP_B.png
FileLink_AIP_B.png (79.95KiB)Viewed 4683 times
Upto now I seem to be unable to fix this, help is appreciated. Currently using Advanced installer Version 20.6 (7C7B154C)
But the problem appears to be in there for quite some time already, so expect this to be an AIP project issue.

I am not sure, but it might be related to installing 2 versions of my software next to eachother (AKA keep old version) on my clean test VM. I installed the older version of my app first, and next the newer version.

TIA,

Hans Hasenack

Hello Hans,

I investigated it and tried to reproduce the behavior, but I was not able to replicate it.

Can you please send us by email to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can further test and investigate this, the following resources:

1. the .AIP (setup project) files for both versions
2. an installation log
3. a download link for your setup packages (the old version and the new version)
4. your OS version and build number

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,
Liviu
