Try TargetFile ="MainEXE" without any brackets or #. The docs says the attribute just takes an Id.

So I have removed the property with the file search. Now it looks like: <Component Id="A"> <File Id="MainEXE" name="Main.exe" Source="$(var.BINDIR)/Main.exe"/> .... </component> ... <Component Id="B"> ... <ProgId Id='extfile' Description='Ext file'> <Extension Id='ext' ContentType='application/ext'> <Verb Id='open' Command='Open' TargetFile='[MainEXE]' Argument='"%1"' /> </Extension> </ProgId> </Component> Produces "Unresolved reference to 'File:[MainEXE]' in section ... If I then change it to TargetFile='[#MainEXE]', I get the same error. If I change it to TargetProperty='[#MainEXE]', I get: ICE69: Mismatched component reference. Entry 'reg1099EB9499BDFA8BA8EBB7D10C985FE0' of the Registry table belongs to component 'B'. However, the formatted string in column 'Value' references file 'MainEXE' which belongs to component 'A'.
