File extension associations for existing files on the target system

I am having a hard time getting the installer to change the default open program for file types already on the target system. Can this be done??

Hello and welcome to our forums,

Unfortunately our "Default Program" feature can be used only for application which are delivered and installed by the current setup project (files from the package).

To set as default program an application which is already installed on target machine you can try to wrote your own custom action.
