Hi,

I need to create MSI package that changes .dwg file type properties with following logic.

- If autocad is installed let .dwg association point to autocad. So no changes to system.

- If autocad has not installed. Program a.exe (a component of mine installation) should open the file when double cliked.

So far i have managed to create a system search ACADINSTALLED that looks c:\acad folder existence.

Also i have managed to create a.exe component that opens .dwg files when double cliked.

If i create a separate component that has only a information necessary to associate .dwg to a components key file i'm unable to bind it specifically to a.exe. Instead .dwg open command points to key file of component.

How do i associate .dwg to a.exe so that i can choose whether i do it or not at install time.

You may create a new component that creates this registry entry. This component should be installed when your a.exe is getting installed AND the autocad is not installed.

Thanks, i'll try that one.
Not as clean solution as i hoped for, but i need to make this fast.
