Hi Quinton,
Actually our product is a add-in package of VS. And we just want to register a file type. In other word, there is no exe or file can be used to open file of that type. It actually works before even we don't put actual FileId:). So do you think we should register that file type to devenv.exe of VS? > Date: Thu, 9 Jul 2009 09:11:27 -0700 > From: quint...@deltacompsys.com > To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to register file type with wix 3 RTM? > > Ryan, > > Where do you have a file with @Id of "FileId" defined?
