Hi, I'm new to WiX and I'm trying to create a simple installer of a 64 bit program (called CalcLab) using Wix and VS2012. I made a new VS project by choosing Project|New and then choosing Windows-Installer-XML and Setup-Project. Then I modified the default Product.wxs file to suit my situation. I did this by browsing examples on the web without really understanding the details of WiX. I ended up with the Product.wxs file below which almost works. CalcLab appears to install ok but if I try to associate a file type with it (CalcLab loads files with a .clb ext), I can't. If I right click on a .clb file and choose "open with" and "choose default program" and then click "browse" and then choose CalcLab.exe, CalcLab doesn't appear in the list of programs to choose from. If I go to "Add or Remove Programs", CalcLab is in the list so Windows7 knows it's installed. Any help would definitely be appreciated, Brett.
