I am trying to add a new mime type using install shiled following the steps below.

1. Click on components icon.
2. Expand a component.
3. Expand Advanced Settings
4. Click on File Types
5. Right click on Extensions -> New Extension Ins.
6. Right click on the new extension -> New MIME Type.
7. Click on the extension and assign the new mime type to the MIME Type property of the extension.
8. Click on the new mime created and enter its Class ID property as the GUID for text/plain CLSID property which can be gotten from the registry - in my case {25336920-03F9-11cf-8FD0-00AA00686F13}.

At this point I get an error: "The data entered is invalid."
Any help on this matter will be greatly appreciated.

Windows Installer requires all GUIDs to be in upper case. This should work:
{25336920-03F9-11CF-8FD0-00AA00686F13}
