Folks:
I understand how to use the ProgID for some simple cases, such
as this example:
<Component Id="eeeeee" Guid="$(var.Component_GUID)">
<ProgId Id="xxxFile" Advertise="yes" Description="desc"
Icon="MyFileIcon.ico">
<Extension Id="HPHR"
ContentType="application/x-xxx-phr">
<MIME ContentType="application/x-xxx-phr"
Default="yes"/>
<Verb Id="view" Argument="-view "%1""
Command="View" Sequence="1"/>
<Verb Id="open" Argument=""%1""
Command="Open" Sequence="1"/>
</Extension>
</ProgId>
</Component>
The problem is - how do I structure things if I have multiple components. I
think I've exhausted all the possibilities, and they all seem to fail.
Suppose I have TWO components, PROGRAM_A, and PROGRAM_B. and both of these
programs operate on a filetype .MFT.
I could do something like
<Component Id=" PROGRAM_A" Guid=".">
<ProgId Id="xxxFile" Advertise="yes" Description="desc"
Icon="MyFileIcon.ico">
<Extension Id="HPHR"
ContentType="application/x-xxx-phr">
<MIME ContentType="application/x-xxx-phr"
Default="yes"/>
<Verb Id="view" Argument="-view "%1""
Command="View" Sequence="1"/>
</Extension>
</ProgId>
</Component>
<Component Id=" PROGRAM_B" Guid=".">
<ProgId Id="xxxFile" Advertise="yes" Description="desc"
Icon="MyFileIcon.ico">
<Extension Id="HPHR"
ContentType="application/x-xxx-phr">
<MIME ContentType="application/x-xxx-phr"
Default="yes"/>
<Verb Id="edit" Argument="-edit "%1""
Command="View" Sequence="1"/>
</Extension>
</ProgId>
</Component>
This runs into problems with the ProgId being duplicate defined.
I've tried bundling the ProgId elements into a THIRD component, and then
using
<Verb Id="edit" Argument="-edit "%1"" Command="View"
TargetFile=xxx>
That fails because I cannot have the TargetFile references go
across components.
I could simply avoid using the Verb/ProgId/etc elements, and just use the
underlying REGISTRY elements for the parts of the registry I wanted changed,
but I saw ICE warnings in my existing WIX installer that suggested I should
be using these ProgId/etc elements.
Any pointers?
Thanks,
Lewis.
