When a file association is created, and the app is installed properly, in the
case of the Open verb, when a user double clicks on a file with that
extension, the shell launches the registered application and opens the file.

If the file association is advertised, and the application is not installed,
or has missing files that previent it from opening (missing exe or dll) then
because the verb Open is advertised, msiexec kicks of an on=demand install
or repair.

I made sure the first scenario was working, and then focused on advertising
the verb.
