Hi,
It is right that you need to catch the relaunch message in the stack
script of the stack that is opened first. This is always the stack
that is embedded in the executable. It can't be any other stack. In
your case, it is the splash stack. As far as I know, this is all
explained in the documentation, even though it might be a bit brief.
I referred to this http://qurl.tk/4x example before. It works
perfectly for me, on Win 98 up to and including Vista. I don't know
about Win 7 (yet).
I do always use very short names for my executables. The paths always
end in 8.3 DOS file names. The application names, as displayed in the
Add/Remove Software control panel and in other palces, can be longer
than that.
I wonder whether something has changed in 4.5. I haven't used Rev 4.5
for my installer yet. Something has changed with regard to icons of
Windows executables and perhaps it affects the icon that needs to be
associated with your file extension. RunRev should be able to tell you
this.
Maybe you should post your script.

Thanks Scott.
I'm part way to a solution. Apparently "relaunch" only works with
the stack
bound to the engine in the splash standalone. I was trying to use
it with
the main stack opened by the splash app (the splash stack was
immediately
closed after launch).
I also learned how to get the path of a double-clicked document
using the
environment variable $1 at startup, so if my app is launched by a
document,
it will load the document after launching.
But I'm still facing the disassociated file issue. Documents saved
by my
app with a custom file extension continue to show up with the generic
Windows document icon, instead of the custom icon in my standalone,
and
bring up the "choose application" dialog when double-clicked. I
tried your
suggestion of manually assigning the icon via file properties, and
it did
change (to the icon of an app somewhere else on the drive), but I'm
not sure
where in the registry this was updated (if at all).
[sigh] Hours being sucked away by these details...
