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. -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/Ways-to-Initiate-Self-Repair-in-MSI-tp7597590p7597620.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ WiX-users mailing list WiX-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wix-users
