Hello,

I use Verb table to add a line in contextual menu for BMP files.

The string to diplay in this menu is "Open with [ProductName]". It is stored in the string table.

But when installed, the line in contextual menu is "Open with [ProductName]"
where [ProductName] is never translated to the product name.
I've tried with a custom property using a constant value but the problem is the same.

Any idea?

Chris

Chris, the data type for the verb column is Text and not Formatted, so the property wasn't translated to the value. Use a custom action (type 51) instead.

Since the Command column in the Verb table is of type Formatted, it should resolve properties. Please look in Direct Editor and/or open the built msi file in DirectEdit mode to see what content InstallSHield puts in this field.
